BOTOX® and Migraine Basics: How Does BOTOX® for Migraines Work?
BOTOX® for migraines is a prescription medication for adults with chronic migraines, meaning they have 15 or more days each month with a headache that lasts four or more hours each day. While the treatments are considered safe and effective, research is continuing into migraine BOTOX® treatments, which are believed to interrupt the pathway of pain transmission between the brain and nerves.
A treatment session takes about 10 minutes and yields results that last for up to three months. During the session, BOTOX® is injected into multiple areas on the head and neck. The most common “BOTOX® for migraines” injection sites include the forehead, temples, back of the head, and neck.

Aside from treatments like BOTOX®, Dr. Ellen Turner’s Dallas-based Dermatology Office also offers dermal fillers, such as the line of Juvéderm® hyaluronic acid fillers. These are designed to reduce static wrinkles by adding volume or re-shaping or augmenting areas such as the jawline. Radiesse® and Sculptra® are biostimulatory injectables that gradually increase collagen in the skin to improve facial volume. Kybella® and CoolSculpting® improve the appearance of the jawline by reducing resistant fat between the chin and neck. Skin rejuvenation procedures such as chemical peels, microneedling, and Dermalinfusion enhance the look and feel of the skin, addressing other types of cosmetic concerns such as dullness, uneven tone or texture, or dryness.
