Dr. Sharon is an expert in the administration of Botox for the care of chronic migraine and off label for other headache and facial pain.
Botox is a safe therapy that is approved worldwide for the treatment of people suffering from refractory chronic migraine headaches. It is administered over the top of the face and scalp every 3 months and can potentially reduce headache frequency, intensity, duration. For many people it has proved truly transformational.
When administered properly, it is relatively safe and very well tolerated. People often get Botox to reduce wrinkles and for aesthetics. Like any other injection, bleed and infection is always cautioned. There is also a risk for a droopy eyelid and pain from the procedure itself or after.
Botox is an effective alternative for patients who have found oral medications either ineffective or causing many side effects.
