It throbs and pounds beneath the skull, and the pain is often unbearable: migraine is one of the most common conditions in Germany, yet it often goes undiagnosed or inadequately treated. Chronic migraine and tension headaches can severely affect the quality of life of those affected.

What is migraine treatment?

Get treatment for chronic migraines at LIVION in Hamburg

The use of muscle relaxants (botulinum toxin) in migraine treatment aims to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. Botox injections are administered into specific head and neck muscles to reduce tension and contractions that often contribute to migraine pain. This approach can reduce the intensity of migraines and decrease the number of attacks. Muscle relaxant treatment is performed at regular intervals.

How is a migraine treatment performed?

Quick, accurate, no downtime

A migraine treatment is performed similarly to a muscle-relaxing wrinkle treatment. The muscle relaxant is injected with a fine needle into specific nerve locations, typically the inner third of the eyebrows, the upper neck area, and the temples.

At LIVION, the Botox migraine treatment usually takes about 10–15 minutes. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately afterward, with no downtime required.

Aftercare

After the procedure, patients are usually able to return to social activities immediately. Mild redness or swelling may occur right after the treatment, but these typically subside within a short time. On the day of the treatment, it is recommended to avoid wearing make-up. Sun exposure and sauna visits should be avoided for about one week. First effects can usually be noticed within up to three days, with full results achieved after around 14 days.

FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about migraine treatment

How does migraine treatment with muscle relaxants work?

In migraine therapy with botulinum toxin A (commonly known as Botox), the active ingredient is injected precisely into specific head and neck muscles. The goal is to relieve muscle tension and interrupt the transmission of signals to pain-sensitive nerves. This can significantly reduce both the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks.

Who is suitable for this treatment?

This method is particularly suitable for patients suffering from chronic migraine—defined as having headaches on more than 15 days per month, with at least 8 days showing migraine symptoms. A thorough medical evaluation is conducted before starting the treatment.

How is Botox migraine treatment performed at LIVION in Hamburg?

The treatment is performed with a very fine needle and takes only about 10 to 15 minutes. Typical injection points include the forehead, temples, back of the head, and neck muscles. No anesthesia is required. Patients can resume normal activities immediately afterward.

When can I expect results from migraine treatment?

Initial improvements are usually noticeable within about three days. The full effect typically develops within 14 days. To maintain the effect, treatments are usually repeated every 12 weeks.

What should I do after the treatment?

On the day of treatment, avoid applying makeup. It is recommended to refrain from direct sun exposure, sauna, or solarium use for one week. Mild redness or swelling at the injection sites may occur but generally resolves within a few hours.

What our patients say about migraine treatment at LIVION

★★★★★
Finally, I can participate in normal everyday life and hardly have any pain. My attacks have been reduced to a maximum of 2-3 and I very rarely have to take additional medication. A completely new attitude to life – for which I am incredibly grateful. I really liked Dr Ugurlu's empathetic manner from the very beginning, as well as the detailed explanation of the treatment. The entire head is palpated very carefully before the injections are administered. Every body is different – every migraine is different. Here, the focus is on the individual patient in order to achieve the best possible result. It worked wonderfully for me! Many thanks to Dr Ugurlu and the entire team for their professional and extremely warm care! Best regards!
