I got a 50cc Botox earlier today, and now I’m experiencing a headache and it seems like the ache is coming from my eyes. Is that Normal?
Answer: Headache after Botox. Is that normal? It’s not common to have headaches post Botox treatment, but they do occur and it’s not something to worry about. It should go away in a day or two. You can take Tylenol for the headache which will help.

Answer: Mild Headache Not Uncommon After Botox Thank you very much for your question and congratulations on your recent Botox experience. Headaches are a known side-effect from Botox Cosmetic injections. While most people do not suffer with from these post-treatment headaches, it is not unusual when they do occur. The headaches can occur as the targeted muscles begin to relax, ‘fighting’ the process. These are normally short in duration and will quickly subside. If your headache continues, contact your Botox Cosmetic provider for their advice. Until then, over the counter medication should be enough to keep the discomfort at bay.

Answer: Headache after Botox This is very common, usually lasting just the first 24 hours or so. It is generally well treated with Ibuprofen (but consult with your doctor as they may feel it will cause an increase in the bruising). Sorry that you are hurting, but it should go away soon.

Answer: Yes, Botox both causes and prevents headaches Hi Mary Grace, I know how you feel; I have gotten headaches after Botox injections too. I found it helpful to take 400mg of ibuprofen immediately after injection to prevent this. Ironically, I got Botox for migraines and it did work to reduce their occurrence. I don't take the ibuprofen before injections because it increase the chances of bruising, but immediately after. Good luck with this, Lillian Overman, M.D.

Answer: Headaches after Botox Definitely follow up with the physician who injected the Botox. It is fairly common to have a headache after Botox injections, particularly if patients 'fight' the deactivation of the target muscles (although, ironically, Botox is used to treat chronic migraine headaches).
