Botox for Migraine

Botox might be very popular for its benefits in treating facial wrinkles and fine lines. However, there’s more to it than the cosmetic application. Botox use has now been extended to treating chronic migraines.

Chronic migraine is a medical condition in which an individual experiences severe headaches of a throbbing and pulsing nature, usually more than fourteen days in one month.

Migraine is mainly caused by the release of serotonin, a neuro-chemical that induces the constriction of blood vessels. While Botox® may not have a direct effect on this, it certainly is beneficial in reducing the pain in patients who suffer from migraines. It achieves this possibly by blocking the transmission of pain signals by nerves and also by relaxing the scalp muscles.

To treat chronic migraines, qualified medical specialists administer multiple botulinum toxin injections into seven specific sites at the head and neck, at intervals of about 12 weeks.

Derma Institute teaches our delegates these techniques in our  2-Day Combined Botox and Filler Course. Our training emphasizes on taking a holistic view of the treatment to include patient expectations and ensure safety and optimum results.

Benefits of Training in Botox for Migraines

An increasing number of individuals who suffer from chronic migraines are turning to botox as a remedy especially with several studies lending credence to its efficacy, safety and good tolerance in patients.

Botox treatment for migraine is able to prevent about 9 or more headache days in one month and also improve the patients’ quality of life.

The use of botox to treat migraine was approved by the FDA in October 2010 and once injected, the benefits can be enjoyed for up to three months afterwards.

By receiving botox training, health professionals can provide their patients with treatments that go beyond beauty. They also stand to gain from the rapidly rising demand for botox for migraine headaches.
