Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Botox really effective for migraines?
- Yes. The PREEMPT clinical trials showed an average reduction of 8 to 9 headache days per month after two treatment cycles, and Botox is FDA-approved specifically for chronic migraine.
- How often do I need treatment?
- Botox for migraine is administered every 12 weeks. Skipping cycles often causes migraine frequency to rise again.
- Will it also smooth my wrinkles?
- Yes — as a welcome side benefit. Because the protocol treats the forehead, glabella, and temples, most patients enjoy smoother, more relaxed-looking skin alongside migraine relief.
- Is it covered by insurance?
- Many major plans, including Medicare, cover Botox for chronic migraine when documented criteria are met. Our team helps you with prior-authorization paperwork.
- How does it differ from cosmetic Botox?
- The product is the same, but migraine dosing uses 155 units across 31 specific anatomic sites — far more than typical aesthetic treatment — to calm pain pathways at the nerve level.
- When will I notice fewer migraines?
- Most patients begin noticing improvement around weeks 2 to 4. Maximum benefit from each cycle is reached around week 6, with best overall results typically appearing after the second or third treatment cycle.
- Can I still take my other migraine medications?
- Yes. Botox is preventive, not a rescue medication. You can typically continue rescue medications like triptans, and Dr. Kerschner will coordinate with your neurologist as needed.
