Can Botox cause headaches?

Botox is an approved injection for migraine headaches and even depression but sadly it can also cause headache as a side effect. I hope you feel better soon.Best WishesDr. Shanthala

Thank you for your question and I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing a negative side effect. Unfortunately, headaches can be an unfortunate symptom of Botox, but this should subside over time. If you continue to experience pain, you can follow up with your injector.

While it's possible to have headaches after Botox, it usually won't last for several weeks. If you keep having headaches, I suggest seeing your Doctor for a formal evaluation. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes, Botox can cause headaches, but it is also used to alleviate headaches. The headaches occur mostly when the needle sometimes inadvertently hits the berve endings close to the bone..

After a few weeks, this is unlikely due to your Botox treatment. If it persists, I recommend following up again with your doctor. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Hope this helps.
