Migraines are characterized by a pulsing or throbbing sensation in a specific area of the head. These tend to be more severe than regular headaches and can regularly interfere with daily activities. At Delta Laser and Skin Care Centre, we offer BOTOX® Therapeutic to help control migraine headaches safely and effectively.

While the exact cause of these severe headaches is uncertain, genetics and environmental triggers are both thought to be play key roles in the onset of migraines. Some factors thought to contribute to migraines include:
Migraines are different from regular and tension headaches. An evaluation from our medical team can help you determine if you are suffering from migraine headaches.
At Delta Laser and Skin Care Centre, we offer BOTOX® Therapeutic to help control migraine headaches. Using the same mechanism of action as BOTOX® Cosmetic, this injectable neuromodulator is administered in a specific injection pattern and dosage approved by the FDA.
During this quick, comfortable treatment, the injections are administered with a fine needle along the seven key areas along the head and neck. The botulinum toxin causes the muscles along these areas to relax, significantly reducing the occurrence of migraine headaches by as many as nine per month.
Left untreated, migraines can severely compromise daily activities. If you suffer from at least 15 migraines a month and prescription medications do not effectively control your headaches, BOTOX® Therapeutic may be a solution for you.
Based on your results after multiple treatments with BOTOX® Therapeutic, our medical team may recommend regular treatment every 12 weeks or so in order to effectively maintain control over your migraines. As every condition is different, results may vary. During your consultation with our medical team, we will listen to your concerns and help you determine if BOTOX® Therapeutic is right for you.
