Botox for wrinkles and migraines works for me

I have been treating myself with Botox for many, many years to prevent ocular migraines.

When I get migraines, I get "ocular" migraines. This means I have vision problems, loss of vision, and shooting lights when I get a migraine. I can always tell when the Botox is wearing off because my migraines come back.

I treat many patients for migraines with Botox and in most people, it is beneficial.

There are different places to inject when treating for migraines, as opposed to treating for wrinkles, but you can kill two birds with one stone.

I am one of the first doctors who reported that Botox can be effective in the treatment of migraine headache and I am probably the best known for this in the world. Unfortunately, I am also the first ever to be sued for this (I did win in court).

While many patients who experience migraine headaches have reported improvement following Botox treatment for wrinkles, the specific injection pattern for Botox migraine treatment is quite different than what we use for wrinkle reduction. While you may notice some improvement of your migraine pain and severity following Botox for wrinkle reduction, I would strongly advise that the injection pattern for migraines is very specific and should be followed by your doctor.

Botox is used off-label for migraine treatment with good results.
