A migraine is much more than just a severe headache. It is a complex neurological condition that can cause intense pulsing pain, throbbing, nausea, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. While many people experience occasional migraines, others suffer from what is clinically classified as "chronic migraines."
Chronic migraine is defined as experiencing headaches on 15 or more days per month for at least three months, with at least 8 of those days meeting the criteria for a full migraine attack. This constant cycle happens when the nervous system becomes hyper-reactive, causing pain pathways in the brain to trigger on overdrive. If you think your headaches fit this pattern, booking a professional assessment is the first step toward reclaiming your quality of life.

While many people associate specialised medical injections with smoothing out wrinkles, specific therapeutic injections are a highly effective, medically approved preventative treatment for adults suffering from chronic migraines.
During a migraine attack, your brain releases chemical messengers and pain signals (neurotransmitters) that cause inflammation and intense throbbing in the blood vessels and muscles around your head.
The clinical treatment works by acting as a temporary shield. When tiny amounts of the specialised medicine are precisely administered around specific nerve pathways in the head and neck, it enters the local nerve endings. Once there, it gently blocks the release of the chemical signals that transmit pain to the brain. By intercepting these "pain messages" before they can escalate, the treatment can significantly cut down the frequency and severity of your headache days.

Chronic migraine is a specific medical diagnosis where a person experiences headaches on 15 or more days a month, with at least half of those days involving classic migraine symptoms (like throbbing pain, nausea, or light sensitivity).
Clinically administered injections are a licensed preventative treatment specifically for adults who meet these chronic criteria and haven’t responded well to standard oral preventative drugs. It works by creating a chemical barrier that stops pain-signalling molecules from reaching the central nervous system.
Unlike cosmetic applications, a migraine prevention protocol follows a highly specific, medically researched map. Small, shallow doses are placed just under the skin or muscle in seven key muscle areas across the head and neck. This includes the forehead, the temples, the base of the skull, and the top of the neck/shoulders. Your clinician will walk you through this exact map during your consultation.
How long a single Botox (Botulinum Toxin) treatment round lasts does vary from person to person. However, for most patients, a single round of injections provides relief for about 12 weeks (approximately 3 months).
Yes, when performed by a qualified, appropriately regulated medical professional, this treatment has a well-established safety profile for chronic neurological conditions. Because the injections are localised, the medicine acts where it is placed.
Mild, temporary side effects can occur, such as slight tenderness or bruising at the injection sites, a temporary mild headache immediately after treatment, or temporary neck stiffness. A thorough medical review is completed during your consultation to ensure the treatment is safe for your specific health background before anything proceeds.
The cost of Botox migraine treatment in our clinic in West Sussex starts from £300 per session. Because managing migraines requires a highly specialised, clinical approach, the exact price depends entirely on your unique treatment plan and the specific anatomical zones that need to be targeted. During your comprehensive, face-to-face medical consultation, we will complete a full assessment and provide you with a transparent, personalised pricing breakdown before any treatment begins.
