Migraine is a debilitating condition that affects millions worldwide. Our clinic offers a comprehensive approach to migraine management, focusing on both prevention and treatment. We utilise a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and alternative therapies to help patients find relief.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections To Treat Migraine Problems
Anti-Wrinkle injections has been used for some time for a variety of medical and cosmetic purposes. Researchers discovered that many people who suffer from migraines also have muscle tension in their scalp and neck, and an injection of muscle relaxant in these areas may actually decrease this muscle tension - therefore reducing the number of migraines.
As with all treatments at Skinfinity, you will only ever be seen by our highly trained clinicians.
How Anti-Wrinkle Injections For Migraine Works
The treatment will take about 30 minutes. The needles used for this treatment are very small and people say that the injections feel like tiny pinpricks.
The anti-wrinkle substance is injected into shallow muscles, not too deeply beneath the skin. Each treatment involves 31 injections in 7 key areas of the head and neck.
In terms of aftercare, a follow-up appointment is offered one month after the procedure is carried out, although as always you are encouraged to contact your Skinfinity doctor at any time with any queries.
FAQs
Are there any side effects or risks?
Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, along with occasional headache, neck discomfort, or a feeling of tightness in the treated areas. These symptoms typically resolve within a few days. Rare but more serious risks can include drooping eyelids or eyebrows, temporary muscle weakness, flu-like symptoms, or in extremely rare cases, difficulty swallowing or an allergic reaction. We take every precaution to minimise these risks through careful consultation, precise injection techniques, and tailored treatment plans—ensuring your safety and comfort from start to finish.
What can I expect immediately after treatment?
Immediately after your migraine treatment, you can expect a quick and relatively comfortable recovery with minimal downtime. The injection sites—usually around the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck, and shoulders—may feel a little tender, red, or slightly swollen, but this usually settles within a few hours. Some clients experience a mild headache or tightness in the treated areas shortly after, which typically passes within the first day or so.
You’ll be able to resume normal activities right away, though we advise avoiding heavy exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treated areas for the first 24 hours. The full benefits of the treatment usually develop gradually over 1 to 2 weeks, and we’re always here to support you through the process and answer any questions along the way.
How long do the result last?
The results of Botox for migraine treatment typically last around 10 to 12 weeks. Most clients begin to notice a reduction in the frequency and intensity of their migraines within 1 to 2 weeks after treatment, with continued improvement as the Botox takes full effect.
To maintain the benefits, treatments are usually repeated every 3 months, especially for those with chronic migraines (defined as 15 or more headache days per month). With consistent treatment, many clients find their migraine episodes become less frequent, less severe, and shorter in duration over time—helping them regain control of their day-to-day life.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, migraine treatment with Botox is generally safe and well-tolerated, especially when administered by a trained medical professional. In fact, Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for chronic migraines and has been used effectively for many years to help reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraines.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients find the injections to be very tolerable with minimal discomfort. The treatment involves using a fine needle and takes just a few minutes—many describe the sensation as a quick scratch or tiny pinch. If you're particularly sensitive or nervous, we can apply a numbing cream beforehand to make you more comfortable.
Can I wear makeup after the treament?
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation or infection.
