The application of botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, for chronic migraine is a medical treatment designed for patients who experience severe headaches for fifteen or more days a 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 micro-injections 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 the exact doses in specific areas such as the forehead, temples, back of the neck, and shoulders. The process is performed in the office with very fine needles, which allows it to be a tolerable and safe experience. It requires no downtime, so you can resume your daily activities upon completion.
This treatment is focused on adults seeking an effective alternative when preventive oral 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.
You can complete your evaluation and treatment at our Roma Norte, Polanco, or Santa Fe locations. Our medical team will evaluate your facial structure and your symptoms to offer you personalized care in a professional clinical environment.
