botox for migraines
at uma clinic
in amsterdam
Anyone who lives with migraines knows it’s so much more than a headache. Intense pain, nausea and sensitivity to light and sound can take over your day, and sometimes your week. Botox is a well-established treatment for chronic migraine. By injecting botox at specific points in the head and neck, it relaxes the muscles and helps dampen pain signals.
The result? Fewer migraine attacks, and attacks that tend to be less severe. Many of our clients notice a real improvement in their daily life and overall wellbeing. The treatment is quick, relatively painless and often shows noticeable results within a few weeks.
Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
how does the treatment work?
Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that transmit pain and relaxes overactive muscles that can contribute to migraines. The injections are placed at strategic points in the head and neck to ease tension and reduce pain. The treatment takes about 15 minutes.
what can you expect after the treatment?
You can get on with your day straight after your treatment. The effect builds gradually over a few days to a few weeks, and most people notice fewer migraine attacks within the first month.
how often do I need a treatment?
To keep migraines under control, we recommend a follow-up treatment every 3 to 6 months. Over time, regular treatments can help attacks return less often and with less intensity.
