Jordana S. Gilman, M.D. answers: Does Botox treat migraines and wrinkles at the same time?

My doctor said he can treat my migraines at the same time I get my cosmetic Botox injections. Is this true?

Yes, this is true. Botox is a useful treatment for migraines in some patients. However, the important thing to remember is that the precise location of injections is different when it is being used for migraines and when it is being used cosmetically to reduce wrinkles.

In my practice, some people who get tension headaches have reported to me that their tension headaches are reduced after they have Botox cosmetic injections.
