Botox for Migraines & Headaches
More than just wrinkle-relaxing — Botox® can be life-changing for those living with chronic migraines and tension headaches.
What Is Botox for Migraines?
While many people know Botox® for its cosmetic benefits, it’s also an **NHS-approved treatment for chronic migraine** and a widely recognised therapy for tension-type headaches. By calming overactive muscles and blocking pain signals, Botox® can significantly reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches.
At Harmony, our clinicians use advanced injection mapping to target the precise muscle groups and nerve pathways involved in migraine pain, ensuring a treatment that is both safe and effective.
Why It Works
Migraines and chronic headaches are often linked to muscle tension and nerve overactivity around the forehead, temples, jaw, and neck. Botox® works by:
- Relaxing tension points that trigger pain
- Interrupting pain pathways, reducing nerve sensitivity
- Preventing recurrence, helping break the cycle of chronic headaches
Many patients notice fewer attacks, reduced severity, and improved quality of life within weeks of treatment.
How Botox for Migraines Works
We don’t just mask pain—we target the source.
| Concern | What’s Happening | What We Do |
|---|---|---|
| Chronic migraines (15+ days per month) | Overactive nerve signals and muscle contractions around the head and neck trigger repeated attacks | Use precisely placed Botox® injections across the scalp, forehead, temples, and neck to calm overactivity and prevent attacks |
| Tension headaches | Tight muscles in the forehead, jaw, and neck build pressure, leading to persistent pain | Relax overactive muscles to ease tension and reduce frequency of headaches |
| Jaw clenching & stress-related pain | Overworked masseter and temporalis muscles contribute to head and face pain | Target jaw muscles with Botox® to relieve clenching, reduce strain, and lower headache triggers |
Who It’s For
- You suffer from chronic migraines (15 or more headache days per month, lasting 4+ hours)
- You have tried conventional treatments with limited relief
- Your headaches are linked to muscle tension, clenching, or stress
- You want a clinically proven, non-surgical solution to reduce migraine frequency
