The Effect of Botox on Chronic Headaches
Migraine botox has a completely different protocol (PREEMPT protocol) from aesthetic botox. The needles are applied not only to the forehead but also to the temples, the back of the head, the nape, and the muscles above the shoulder (a total of 31 different points). Since the doses target deep nerve roots, not superficial muscles, it does not create an aesthetic mask dullness or deformity on your face.
A serious relief in pain begins within 1-2 weeks after the application. Its effect lasts an average of 12 weeks (3 months). To establish a successful protective shield, it is very important that the treatment is repeated every 3-4 months, for a total of 3 or 4 sessions, to break the pain habit of the nerves.
No. It provides no benefit in cluster-type headaches or tension-type headaches. It shows high success only in patients who have been diagnosed with "Chronic Migraine" by a Neurology specialist and are resistant to medications.
