Botox for Chronic Migraine Relief
As a lifelong migraine sufferer himself, Dr. Paul Charlson deeply understands the debilitating impact migraines can have on quality of life. While medication often focuses on reducing the pain of an attack, the most effective approach is prevention. Botox injections have been clinically proven to significantly reduce the frequency of migraine headaches, so much so that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has approved its use for migraine treatment. Dr. Charlson has even published articles on this subject, reflecting his expertise.
Botox injections are licensed for the prevention of chronic migraine, defined as experiencing 15 or more headache days per month. This revolutionary treatment reduces migraines by 50% in 70% of chronic sufferers. The procedure involves precise injections around the head and neck. While some migraine treatments might be available on the NHS, many patients opt for private treatment due to the profound improvement it offers. A first treatment, including consultation, costs around £600, with subsequent treatments priced at £500. Additionally, many of our clients find that cosmetic Botox injections (priced at £250) can incidentally reduce the frequency of tension headaches by relaxing muscles in the forehead and around the eyes. We always prefer to correspond with your GP regarding your treatment.
