Migraine headache Botox Treatment
We are highly experienced in providing forehead Botox injections as an effective treatment to combat headaches and migraine.
Botox is an approved treatment for the prevention of headaches in chronic migraine patients; however, it can of course be used as an effective preventative treatment for less frequent migraines, and depending on the origin of the pain, less severe types of headache too.
Effective Botox treatment can result in a major reduction in headaches and migraine pain, and in many cases the headaches may disappear altogether.
Since the results can last around 3-6 months, this treatment can offer great relief to many migraine sufferers. Many of our clients know when it is time to re-visit as their headaches begin to return.
Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only procedure and will only be performed following a face-to-face medical consultation with Independent Nurse Prescriber, Rosie Cooper.

frequently asked questions
Is Botox treatment for migraine safe?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) has been used for a multitude of medical treatments for over 30 years, in both adults and children. It has been licensed for cosmetic purposes for around 18 years, with a second-to-none safety profile. Botox injections are very safe when performed by a medical professional. The treatment itself uses a prescription-only medically regulated toxin, so it can only be administered by a qualified medical professional such as Independent Nurse Prescriber, Rosie Cooper.
Who can have Botox treatment?
Botox treatment for headaches and migraine be suitable for anyone suffering from tension headaches and migraine pain. Botox treatment will only be prescribed after a medical consultation. Please note that key contraindications include pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects of Botox treatment are minimal and temporary. You might experience a small amount of redness which quickly reduces and/or localised bruising, which are both possibilities with any kind of injection. Botox injections are known as one of the 'lunch-break' cosmetic procedures since they are relatively quick with no real recovery time needed, and you can get on with the rest of your day following treatment. If you ever have any questions or concerns following any procedure, please do not hesitate to contact us - we are always happy to assist and place great importance on your post-procedure care.
When can I expect to see results?
It takes around 2-3 weeks for Botox results to take full effect; although some people may see or feel some results more quickly.
How long does Botox last?
Botox results are not permanent, and the effects wear off over time. It is recommended that to maintain the results of Botox injections you would have treatment 2-3 times a year, in order to keep the treatment refined and topped up, rather than letting results totally diminish and starting again from scratch. This approach helps to give you the best results, and therefore relief from headaches and migraine, for the longest period.
