Are chronic migraines slowing you down? Relief is in sight at MIMIT Health PRIME! Our expert team offers Botox treatments for chronic migraine sufferers, providing a cutting-edge solution to reduce headache frequency and severity.

What is Chronic Migraine?

Chronic migraines are defined as severe or debilitating headaches that occur 15 or more days per month, with each episode lasting at least 4 hours. Many patients suffer for years, unaware that preventative treatment options exist.

How Does Botox Work for Chronic Migraine?

Botox, the first FDA-approved preventive treatment for chronic migraines, works by blocking the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission1. This revolutionary treatment can lead to:

  • A 50% or greater reduction in headache days

  • Decreased severity of migraine attacks

  • Improved quality of life
