Migraine headaches can be debilitating when you experience them multiple times per month. Whether they last for a few hours or a few days, it can derail your life when you have splitting head pain. One of the most effective options for controlling chronic migraines are Botox® injections. At LL Aesthetics, we offer Botox for migraine pain relief at our clinic in Miami Beach, FL.
Botox is a neuromodulator, which means it affects the way nerves communicate to the muscles. When injected into muscles, it can block the nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract. This is why it can help with muscle spasms, as well as smooth facial lines that are created by muscle contractions. For migraine pain relief, it relaxes certain muscles that can trigger migraine headaches.
Botox has been safely used for medical treatments for over 30 years. The injections can be completed in less than 30 minutes, and there is no need for downtime after the treatment. The FDA approved Botox for chronic migraine treatment in 2010.
Reduce Migraines with Botox Injections
The effects of Botox on migraines were discovered by accident. Some patients who were receiving Botox injections for wrinkle reduction noticed another benefit – they had fewer migraines after they began Botox treatments. This led to scientific studies and the eventual approval of Botox for chronic migraines, which is anyone who has more than 15 migraines a month.
Botox injections for migraines are usually performed every 3-4 months. This can reduce migraine headaches by 50% or more in many individuals. For many people living with chronic migraines, Botox injections can be a game-changer. Plus, you also get the anti-wrinkle benefits to help you look happier and more youthful as frown and worry lines disappear.
If you are suffering from chronic migraines, it is time to see if Botox treatment can give you relief. To learn more about Botox for migraine pain, contact us at LL Aesthetics in Miami Beach, FL.
