Migraine Botox

Migraine Botox is an advanced, medically approved treatment designed to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of chronic migraines through precise, targeted injections. By gently relaxing overactive muscles and interrupting the pain-transmitting pathways involved in migraine attacks, Botox offers sustained relief that typical medications often cannot achieve. This minimally invasive approach provides long-lasting comfort for patients who suffer from persistent, debilitating headaches and want a clinically proven method of prevention.

At Fethiye Medical Aesthetics Clinic, under the expert care of Dr. Tuncay Dagel, Migraine Botox treatments are customized to your symptoms, trigger patterns, and medical history. Using refined injection techniques and evidence-based protocols, we prioritize both therapeutic effectiveness and patient comfort—helping you regain control, reduce medication reliance, and restore your daily quality of life.

What is Migraine Botox?

Migraine Botox is a medically approved preventive treatment for chronic migraine headaches, using the same neurotoxin known for cosmetic Botox but delivered in a therapeutic protocol. In patients who experience frequent migraine attacks — typically 15 or more headache days per month — Migraine Botox has been shown to significantly reduce both the frequency and severity of migraines.

At Fethiye Medical Aesthetics Clinic, Migraine Botox is administered with precision by Specialist Dr. Tuncay Dağel, offering a science-based approach that aims to improve quality of life for sufferers of chronic migraine.

Why Choose Migraine Botox?

Many migraine sufferers find that traditional oral medications either don’t work well enough or cause unwanted systemic side effects. Migraine Botox is different:

FDA-approved for chronic migraine preventive therapy — a recognized medical use.
Targets pain signaling pathways rather than just masking symptoms.
Reduces headache days per month, often by 30–50% or more with regular treatments.
Well-tolerated, with a safety profile that many patients find preferable to daily systemic drugs.
Can be combined with other migraine management strategies for a comprehensive plan.

How Migraine Botox Works

Migraine Botox uses tiny doses of onabotulinumtoxinA injected into specific muscle groups in the head, neck, and shoulders. These injections help block pain signals and reduce overactive nerve activity linked to migraine attacks.

The treatment typically involves multiple injection sites — often around 31 — that have been standardized through clinical studies on chronic migraine. Most sessions last about 15–20 minutes, and patients can typically return to normal activities immediately afterward.

What to Expect During Treatment

Migraine Botox is generally well-tolerated when administered by experienced practitioners. Possible side effects may include:

Mild pain, redness, or bruising at injection sites
Temporary neck discomfort or stiffness
Rare, temporary drooping of eyelids or eyebrows

This information is designed to provide you with quick and reliable information about migraine Botox.

What is Migraine Botox?

Migraine Botox is an FDA-approved preventive treatment for chronic migraines. It uses small doses of onabotulinumtoxinA injected into specific head, neck, and shoulder muscles to decrease the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.

Who is a good candidate for Migraine Botox?

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

Experience 15 or more headache days per month, with at least 8 migraine days.
Have tried other preventive medications without sufficient results.
Prefer a non-systemic, clinic-based treatment method.

Migraine Botox is specifically for chronic migraine, not episodic migraine.

How does It work?

Botox blocks the release of pain-signaling chemicals from nerve endings and reduces muscle tension around the head and neck. This helps prevent migraine pathways from activating and reduces overall headache burden.

How long does the procedure take?

A typical session takes 10–20 minutes. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment.

When will I start to feel improvement?

Most patients begin to notice relief within 2–4 weeks, with full benefits often seen after the second or third treatment cycle (performed every 12 weeks).

How often do I need Migraine Botox?

Treatments are usually repeated every 10–12 weeks. Consistency is important because results are cumulative, and skipping sessions may reduce effectiveness.
