Botulinum toxin treatment has established itself as an effective solution for those suffering from chronic migraines. It has been shown to reduce the number of migraine days and lessen the intensity of the headaches.
Botulinum toxin works by preventing the release of neurotransmitters from nerve endings, which relaxes muscles and alleviates pain. In migraine treatment, botulinum toxin is injected precisely into the muscles of the head and neck that are involved in the mechanisms of migraine pain. The treatment consists of several small injections into the forehead, temples, neck, and shoulders.
The effects of the treatment last approximately 3–6 months. Migraine treatment with botulinum toxin is performed by a doctor at Klinik Linnea.
FAQ
How should I prepare for the treatment?
We recommend eating before your treatment and arriving without makeup. Due to the increased risk of bruising and bleeding, we do not recommend taking anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., Ibuprofen/Burana) for three days prior to the treatment, and natural supplements (e.g., Omega-3, Vitamin E) for one week before the treatment. If you need pain relief, we recommend using paracetamol. We will send you an electronic medical history form prior to your appointment, which you should complete before arriving for your treatment.
What does the treatment include?
The procedure is quick and lasts approximately 30 minutes. Before the botulinum toxin treatment, you will have a consultation where we will discuss your needs, based on which the treatment will be planned. During the botulinum toxin treatment, the treatment plan and any questions or concerns about the procedure will be addressed. The treatment begins with a skin cleanse, followed by the botulinum toxin injections. After the treatment, we will review aftercare instructions. If you wish, we offer a complimentary follow-up visit two weeks after the treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes.
Is there pain during the treatment?
There is no pain, or only mild discomfort.
What are the typical reactions after the treatment?
Some patients may experience normal side effects at the injection site, such as redness, tenderness, or bruising. These reactions usually resolve within a couple of days, and we recommend considering this when choosing the timing for your botulinum toxin treatment. After the treatment, you may experience headaches for a few days.
What are the aftercare instructions for the treatment?
We will review the detailed aftercare instructions during the treatment. On the day of the treatment, avoid touching the treated area and ensure that you maintain good hygiene in the treated area. Avoid excessive facial expressions and remain in an upright position for at least two hours after the procedure. For the next two days, avoid strenuous physical activity, saunas, sweating, and direct UV exposure. We also recommend avoiding other facial treatments, facial massages, and any procedures around the mouth and face for two weeks after the treatment. For the first 24 hours, do not apply makeup to the treated area due to the risk of infection. Klinik Linnea recommends using SPF 50 sunscreen year-round. If you have any questions about your recovery, please contact the professional who treated you.
