If You Have Chronic Migraines, You Should Consider Botox

The only thing worse than a bad headache is a blinding migraine. Thankfully migraines are not something that all people will experience in life. But for those who do, the pain is debilitating. Only 3% of people who suffer from migraines will suffer from what is known as chronic migraines. Harvard Health defines these as migraines that occur more than 15 days a month for more than three months consecutively.

Whether you suffer from the occasional migraine or chronic migraines, one thing is sure: you’re desperate for relief and fast. But, what if there was a way to keep those migraines at bay? Well, there is. And you might be surprised to know that the common med spa treatment known as Botox has the unique ability to do it. Keep reading to find out how Botox can change your life. 

So, Botox Can Actually Cure Me of My Migraines?

It’s important to keep one thing in mind when considering Botox as a way to help relieve you from migraines: while it has been shown in studies that Botox can reduce migraines up to 50%, it’s important to note that the effects of Botox injections are not permanent.

The American Migraine Foundation explains in detail, but in short, the Botox enters the nerve endings at the injection site, and this works to block the release of chemicals that are involved in pain transmission. By doing so, it prevents the activation of pain inside of your brain. 

How Botox for Migraines Differs From Botox for Cosmetic Purposes

We know that many men and women will turn to Botox to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. But when it comes to Botox for chronic migraines, it’s used differently, although it’s the same component being injected. Botox is known for making your face stable because it paralyzes nerve terminals. The terminals are where the pain of a migraine comes from. So essentially, the paralyzation takes away the pain.

When injecting Botox for migraines, the focal points of the injections are in the most migraine tension areas. Areas such as the temples, the neck, the upper back, and the nose bridge are a few of the most treated areas. It’s important to note that Botox is not typically suggested for those with 14 or fewer migraine headaches in a single month.

If you are a person who deals with chronic migraine pain, you can get the relief you’re so desperately wanting with Botox. And best of all, some insurance plans are even willing to help cover part of the cost.
