Gradual Improvement
Botox is a preventive treatment, not an immediate pain reliever. Some patients notice improvement during the first treatment cycle, while others may require additional cycles to assess their response.
Minimal Procedure Time
Treatment appointments are generally brief. Temporary injection-site discomfort, neck pain, or headache may occur afterward.
Ongoing Preventive Care
When clinically appropriate, Botox treatment is typically repeated approximately every 12 weeks. Your provider monitors your response and determines whether continued treatment is appropriate.

What Is Botox for Chronic Migraine?
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved prescription treatment used to prevent headaches in adults with chronic migraine.
Chronic migraine generally involves headaches occurring on 15 or more days per month for more than three months, with migraine features on at least eight days per month.
Botox works by interfering with the release of certain chemical messengers involved in pain signaling. It is administered at specific injection sites across the head and neck.
Unlike cosmetic Botox, which is used to temporarily relax muscles associated with expression lines, chronic migraine treatment follows a distinct medical protocol.
Botox does not cure migraine or stop an active migraine attack. Its purpose is to help reduce headache frequency over time.
At Leve Aesthetics, treatment begins with an individualized assessment to determine whether this preventive approach is appropriate for your medical needs.
