Migraines
Chronic migraines can be debilitating. If you suffer from frequent headaches, our targeted injection therapy can help manage triggers and reduce the severity of attacks.
A preventative therapy, not a rescue one
This treatment won’t stop the migraine you’re having today. It works preventatively, reducing how often attacks arrive and how severe they are when they do. Your existing medication stays exactly as your doctor prescribed it — most people find they simply reach for it less often.
The effect builds gradually. Some notice fewer headache days within two weeks, but it often takes a full month, and sometimes two treatment cycles twelve weeks apart, before you can fairly judge whether it’s working for you. Not everyone responds, and we’d rather say so early than keep treating something that isn’t helping. Your first appointment is a proper review of your headache history before anything else.

A Modern Approach to Migraine Management
Chronic migraines are a complex neurological condition, but for many sufferers, they are triggered or exacerbated by peripheral muscle tension. The sensory nerves in the forehead, neck, and shoulders can become compressed or irritated by tight muscles, sending distress signals to the brain that cascade into a migraine.
Botulinum Toxin for Pain Relief
Approved as a preventative treatment for chronic migraines, Botulinum Toxin works on two levels:
- Muscle Relaxation: We inject specific trigger points in the glabellar (frown), frontalis (forehead), temporalis, and occipital (neck) muscles. This forces relaxation, reducing the physical tension that triggers attacks.
- Blocking Pain Signals: Research suggests the toxin may also block the release of neurotransmitters involved in pain pathways, essentially "turning down the volume" on pain signals sent to the brain.

Reducing Frequency and Severity
While not a cure, this therapy can be life-changing. Many patients report a significant reduction in the number of headache days per month (frequency) and find that when headaches do occur, they are less intense and respond better to medication. We start with a comprehensive consultation to determine if this therapy suits your medical history.
FAQs
Answers to common questions about our injectable treatments and aesthetic services
The therapeutic effects typically last around 12 weeks. Most patients follow a regular schedule of treatments every 3 months to maintain their defense against migraine attacks.
It can take up to 2 to 4 weeks to see a meaningful reduction in headache frequency. For severe chronic sufferers, it may take two full treatment cycles (at 12-week intervals) to experience the maximum benefit.
Because it involves multiple injection sites, there is some mild discomfort, but we use ultra-fine needles. The entire process takes about 15 minutes and is very well tolerated by patients.
Yes, you should continue your prescribed acute medications as directed by your doctor. Botulinum Toxin is a preventative therapy, designed to reduce how often you need to use those acute medications.
Some patients notice a reduction in headache frequency within 2 weeks, but it often takes a full month, and sometimes two treatment cycles, to experience the maximum preventative benefit.
You should never stop prescribed medication without consulting your primary doctor. However, many patients find their need for acute pain relief drops significantly after injection therapy.
