Botox® for migraines in Calgary

Relieve chronic headaches & reclaim your day with Botox® treatment

Botox® is more than a cosmetic solution. It’s a clinically approved treatment for chronic migraines by calming the overactive nerves and muscles that contribute to headache cycles. Botox® helps reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.

What is Botox® for migraines & what can it treat?

Botox® is an approved treatment for adults who experience chronic migraines (15 or more headache days per month, with at least 8 days involving migraine features). It works by temporarily relaxing muscle tension and blocking pain signals from nerves around the head and neck. Botox is typically injected in 31 specific sites across the scalp, temples, neck, and shoulders. This treatment can help relieve:

Chronic migraines & headache episodes

Tension in the forehead, temples, and back of the neck

Light & sound sensitivity

Nausea or aura associated with migraines

Botox® for migraines benefits

Why choose Botox® for migraines?

Botox® offers migraine relief with several important benefits. It not only helps reduce the number and severity of migraine episodes, but also addresses the underlying muscle tension and nerve activity that often trigger chronic headaches. By preventing migraines before they start, Botox® can lead to fewer missed days at work or school, improved sleep, and less reliance on daily medications.

What to expect during your Botox® for migraines treatment

Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation to review your migraine history and confirm treatment areas. During the session, we will administer small injections of Botox® into specific points across your forehead, temples, scalp, neck, and shoulders. The entire process typically takes 20–30 minutes with minimal discomfort and no downtime. You can return to your day right after, with results gradually building over the next 1–2 weeks.
