BOTOX treatment for migraines takes approximately 20 minutes to perform. Using a very small needle, the doctor injects tiny amounts of BOTOX into certain shallow muscles. A treatment typically involves 31 injections in seven key areas of the neck and head.
You may have a headache after BOTOX treatment for migraines. A sore neck is another possible side effect. You may also experience muscle weakness in the upper shoulders and neck. These symptoms usually resolve on their own within a few days. You may drive yourself home and return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
If you are 18 years or older and have 15 or more headaches that last four or more hours per month, you may be a candidate for BOTOX migraine treatment. Some insurance companies may require documentation that you have exhausted other treatment options before they will cover BOTOX for migraines.
