Botox for Headaches and Migraines Durham
Dr Matla offers Botox for Migraines and Headaches at his clinic near Durham. This specialised treatment can help relieve the debilitating pain of migraines and headaches.
Evidence indicates that botox disrupts the pathway of pain transmission between the brain (central nervous system) and the nerves extending from the spinal cord. During a migraine episode, the body releases neurotransmitters and pain-associated molecules. Botulinum toxin hampers the transmission of these substances, typically at the junction between nerves and muscles. It is believed that when injected into the muscles surrounding the face, head, and neck, the drug is absorbed by the nerves, interfering with pain-associated neurotransmission.

What should I expect from Botox for migraines?
Botox (botulinum toxin) Injections may be administered to the forehead, temples, and the posterior aspect of the head and neck. At times, injections may be targeted at “trigger points” where headache pain originates. It will be injected into the small muscles beneath your skin across various regions of your face, head, and neck using a fine needle.
Relief from migraines may take several weeks and multiple treatments to manifest.

BOTOX TESTIMONIALS
"Wonderful experience, especially as it’s my first time having any cosmetic work done. The clinic its self is relaxing, welcoming and generally a lovely environment. The staff are warm and helpful. I went expecting to need filler but Dr Matla recommended starting with Botox as I would be able to achieve my goal without leaping ahead to a slightly more advanced procedure. I very much appreciated this honesty and guidance. He was 100% right and I am so thrilled with how botox has reduced my lines."
"I have had several treatments from Dr Matla and have always found him to be highly skilful and an expert in aesthetics. From arrival at his lovely clinic to leaving after my treatment review, the process was very slick and professional. Dr Matla himself is friendly, experienced competent and able to give expert advice on the best (not always most expensive like some) treatments for you as an individual. He is meticulous in his care, explains everything and has a wonderful bedside manner. The treatments I have had (forehead and crow's feet Botox and “barcode” fillers) were painless and highly effective. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for any future treatments."

"I recently had the masseter treatment at Dr. Matla Clinic, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr.Matla and the team are incredibly skilled and professional. From the initial consultation to the procedure itself, they made me feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way.
The treatment itself was virtually painless, and the results were remarkable. My jawline is now more defined, and I no longer experience jaw tension. It's truly life-changing.
I highly recommend Dr.Matla Clinic for anyone considering masseter treatment. Their expertise and care are top-notch, and I'm thrilled with the outcome. Thank you, Dr.Matla, for giving me more confidence!"

WHAT IS BOTOX?
BOTOX is the #1 selling treatment of its kind*:
– Botox is FDA-approved to improve the appearance of frowns and forehead lines. It will also improve crow’s feet and other facial wrinkles.
– It’s a quick 10-minute treatment with minimal downtime
– You may begin to notice the results within 24 to 48 hours
– It delivers predictable, subtle results, so you look like you, only with less noticeable facial lines.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) comes from a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It consists of 7 types of neurotoxins. Only toxins A and B are used by clinicians in Botox treatment. This toxin can cause botulism in high doses (an illness that affects the nerves). Botox has been used since the 1970s.

WHAT AREAS CAN BOTOX TREAT?
A study in 1994 reported the benefit of botulinum (Botox) in reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles; since then, it has been used as a cosmetic treatment.
It is now the number one anti-ageing treatment in the world.
Other uses for BOTOX® are to treat certain eye disorders such as crossed eyes (strabismus) and uncontrolled blinking (blepharospasm). To treat muscle stiffness/spasms or movement disorders (such as cervical dystonia, and torticollis), and also to reduce the cosmetic appearance of wrinkles.
The most common areas for the use of Botox are the frown lines between the eyes, the furrows of the forehead, the crow’s feet at the sides of the eyes, and creases in the neck.

HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?
BOTOX targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. Dr Matla will inject these muscles with BOTOX to temporarily reduce muscle activity.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM BOTOX? DOES IT HURT?
Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX feels like a pinch. Dr Matla may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, we can instead apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.

HOW MUCH TIME DOES TREATMENT TAKE?
The injection process takes a quick 10 minutes. Dr Matla will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate botox treatment areas for you.
HOW OFTEN CAN I HAVE BOTOX®?
We recommend scheduled treatments at about 12 to 16 weeks, BOTOX® does not accumulate in your system so is safe to have regularly. Once the effects have worn off it is safe for you to top up in the same area. It is also perfectly safe to have multiple treatments in different areas at the same time.
DO MEN HAVE BOTOX®?
Absolutely. Over the last two decades, there has been a notable surge of 325% in the number of men seeking cosmetic treatments. Among these treatments, the uptake of BOTOX® among men has been particularly rapid. In the last three years alone, men have accounted for over one million botulinum toxin treatments.
When surveyed, a significant majority of men express a desire to maintain a youthful appearance, acknowledging their concerns about the changes reflected in the mirror. An impressive 80% prioritise addressing crow’s feet, while 74% aim to tackle forehead lines, and 60% are keen to address frown lines as their primary focus. These statistics underscore the increasing popularity of BOTOX® among men, reaffirming its efficacy in helping men achieve their aesthetic goals.

CAN I TRAVEL BY AIRPLANE AFTER BOTOX® TREATMENT?
Certainly! There’s no need to worry about flying after receiving BOTOX® anti-wrinkle injections. Botox injections are not influenced by changes in altitude or cabin pressure, so you can board your flight without any concerns about negative effects on your treatment. Feel free to plan your travels as usual, knowing that your BOTOX® results will remain unaffected by your journey.
HOW LONG IS RECOVERY TIME AFTER BOTOX® TREATMENT?
BOTOX® has a minimal recovery time. After leaving our clinic, you can immediately resume your normal daily routine. However, we advise treating the area(s) with a little caution for the first 24 hours to accelerate the healing process. Avoid doing any strenuous exercise, touching or applying pressure to the injection sites or areas around them, avoid massaging your face, and subjecting your skin to hot showers or baths.
CAN I APPLY MAKEUP AFTER A BOTOX® TREATMENT?
Absolutely! Following your BOTOX® procedure, it’s perfectly fine to wear makeup. However, it’s advisable to steer clear of heavy makeup for a few hours post-treatment to prevent applying excessive pressure on the treated area, which could potentially displace the product. Opting for mineral makeup immediately after the procedure is a great choice as it tends to be gentler on the skin and less likely to interfere with the treated areas.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
3% of patients experienced eyelid drooping in the frown lines studies, 1% of patients experienced eyelid swelling in the crow’s feet studies, and 1% of patients experienced brow drooping in the forehead studies.
Other possible side effects include dry mouth; discomfort or pain at the injection site; tiredness; headache; neck pain; eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight, and dry eyes; and allergic reactions.
