The application of botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, for chronic migraine is a medical treatment designed for patients who experience severe headaches fifteen or more days per month. At FaceUp Clinics we perform a prior assessment to evaluate your history and determine if you are a candidate. The procedure consists of precise microinjections at key points on the head and neck to block pain transmitters before they reach the nerves.
During the session, which lasts approximately 50 minutes, a specialist physician applies exact doses to specific areas such as the forehead, temples, back of the neck, and shoulders. The process is performed in the office using very fine needles, making it a tolerable and safe experience. It does not require downtime, so you can return to your daily activities right after.
This treatment is aimed at adults seeking an effective alternative when oral preventive medications have not been sufficient. The reduction in pain crises is usually progressive, and the first changes are noticed in the weeks following the session. The application schedule is adjusted according to the clinical evolution of each patient to maintain consistent relief.
