Botox Treatment for Migraine | Toronto Clinic

Botox has been found to be an effective treatment for the prevention of migraine headaches. By relaxing the muscles in the face, neck and head, Botox significantly reduces migraine frequency, migraine severity, acute medication usage and associated vomiting in approximately 80% of sufferers. Botox interrupts signals to nerves that cause muscle contractions that can trigger the erratic nerve firing and blood vessel spasms of migraine headaches. After a Botox therapeutic injection, migraine attacks can be reduced for approximately 3 months.

When using Botox treatment for the prevention of migrane headaches, specific trigger points and migraine sites are injected directly. Dr. Rouzati designs an individualized injection plan that involves small painless injections to the scalp, neck, and face areas. The benefits of one treatment can last for several months. Most patients return directly to work or normal activity immediately following Botox treatment. The Botox starts to work 3 to 4 days after the procedure and migraines become less frequent or severe. Dr. Rouzati carefully selects the appropriate points and administers the Botox safely and effectively. The cost of a Botox migraine treatment can range from 175 to 650 dollars depending on the amount of Botox used. Dr. Rouzati's medical practice specializes in Botox medical and Botox cosmetic applications.
