  
Q: How does Botox work exactly?
A: Botox works on the pain pathways, in addition to relaxing the muscles. Botox has been shown to reduce
the frequency of chronic migraines by 50% and 85.6% of patients experience significant improvement.
Q: How often will I need a Botox treatment for my chronic migraines?
A: How many treatments patients need varies on a case-by-case basis. Botox as a preventive treatment
generally lasts about three months. Successive treatments with Botox have shown to have additional benefit.
Q: How much Botox is used?
A: Typical Botox use is 150 to 200 units. Keep in mind that as you invest in your pain-free
life using Botox, you will typically decrease other medical expenses you have been paying to try to treat your migraines.
Q: Are there really no worrisome side effects to Botox use for chronic migraines?
A: Some patients experience local pain at the injection site, which is usually very well tolerated.
Q: Can I treat my wrinkles at the same time?
A: Botox is injected in the forehead area, so you do receive the added benefit of some wrinkle relaxation
(flattening) in that area.
