Understanding the Burden of Chronic Migraines
For those living in Northern Virginia, the fast-paced lifestyle can be stressful enough without the debilitating weight of chronic migraines. If you experience 15 or more headache days a month—with headaches lasting 4 hours or more—you are likely dealing with Chronic Migraine. Over-the-counter pain relievers and acute prescription medications often fall short because they only treat the pain after it has started. At HS MedSpa, we offer a preventative approach.
How BOTOX® Works for Chronic Migraine Prevention
Most people associate BOTOX® with smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. However, it is also an FDA-approved, highly effective preventative treatment for Chronic Migraines. BOTOX® works by entering the nerve endings around the head and neck where migraines originate. It blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission, effectively stopping migraine networks from activating.
By preventing the pain networks from turning on, BOTOX® prevents migraines before they even start.
