Frequent headaches deserve a medical assessment and a prevention plan. Luxura Med Spa in Chicago offers consultations about Botox for chronic migraine, including eligibility, treatment expectations, and coordination with your ongoing care.
Who May Qualify for Botox?
Botox is approved to prevent headaches in adults with chronic migraine who have at least 15 headache days per month, with headaches lasting four hours or longer per day. A clinician must assess the diagnosis and suitability. It is not an acute treatment to stop a migraine already underway.
Preparing for Your Consultation
Bring a headache diary showing frequency, duration, associated symptoms, and medication use. Explain which preventive and acute treatments you have tried and how they worked. Your provider can discuss whether Botox fits the plan and whether specialist care is needed.
Treatment and Safety
Treatment involves injections at selected sites in the head and neck. Discuss the schedule, how response will be measured, and potential side effects, including neck pain and muscle weakness. Rare serious effects may occur; difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing after treatment requires immediate medical help.
Questions About Botox for Migraine
Will I still need other migraine medication?
Possibly. Botox is one part of a prevention plan. Do not stop prescribed medication without discussing it with the clinician managing your migraines.
Does cosmetic Botox count as migraine treatment?
No. Cosmetic treatment and chronic migraine treatment use different assessments and protocols.
