Headache and migraine treatment with Botox®
At the JUVENIS medical center, Botox® is not only used for the treatment of excessive sweating, bruxism (unconscious grinding of teeth, usually at night) and expression lines, but is also used by experienced specialists for the therapy of headaches and migraines.
The term migraine comes from the French (migraine) and means: headache. It refers to severe, pulsating headaches that occur in attacks and are often preceded by symptoms such as visual disturbances (colored flashes or visual field defects), nausea and vomiting, light sensitivity, tingling and/or weakness in an arm or leg, or speech disturbances. They are usually limited to one side of the head. These symptoms, which mostly greatly impair everyday life, can often be significantly improved by Botox® therapy.
In therapy, a distinction is made between treatment of the migraine attack and migraine prophylaxis, i.e. preventive treatment during symptom-free intervals. Botox® is used successfully for migraine prophylaxis (approved in Europe since 2011).

FAQs
Our experienced doctors inject Botox at multiple precise points in the forehead, temple, and neck areas – depending on individual symptoms. The treatment takes about 10–15 minutes and requires no downtime.
Botox blocks certain nerve signals and thus prevents excessive muscle tension that can trigger or intensify migraine attacks. In addition, Botox inhibits the release of pain neurotransmitters in the nervous system. The result is a significant reduction in the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraine episodes.
The treatment is suitable for female and male patients with chronic migraine (at least 15 headache days per month, of which 8 have migraine symptoms). Botox can also be an effective option for frequent tension headaches or therapy-resistant migraine.
The injections are very well tolerated. Extremely fine needles are used, so only a slight prick is felt. Most patients find the treatment straightforward and quick.
The first improvements usually appear within 7–14 days. The full effect develops after about 3–4 weeks. Many patients report significantly fewer headache days and a noticeable relief in everyday life.
The effect lasts about 3 months, sometimes longer. Regular repetitions lead to a stable, long-term reduction in migraine attacks.
Botox is considered well-researched and safe. Possible side effects include mild puncture pain, a feeling of tension, or small bruises at the injection sites. Very rarely, temporary muscle weakness can occur. These effects usually disappear quickly.
For many patients, Botox can reduce or complement the intake of other medications. Whether a complete replacement makes sense is decided by the physician after individual assessment.
The costs depend on the required amount of the active ingredient and the areas to be treated:
From approx. € 380 per treatment
