Frequently Asked Questions About Our Migraine Treatment with Botox
Can I return to work after the migraine treatment?
Yes. There is no downtime, and you may resume your daily activities immediately. We simply advise that you refrain from sports, saunas, and massages for 1–2 days following the procedure.
What is the treatment process at your Berlin clinic?
After establishing a tailored treatment plan and thoroughly disinfecting the area, a precise, low dose of botulinum toxin (Botox) is administered using an ultra-fine needle. Aside from a minor pinch, the procedure is virtually painless. The injections are completed within minutes and are performed personally by our specialist physicians.
Is there anything I need to consider before the treatment?
No special preparations are required before your Botox injection. We place great importance on a comprehensive consultation to align with your needs and provide clear, detailed information regarding the expected results.
Is migraine treatment with Botox safe?
Yes – when performed by a medical specialist. At SCHÖNE HAUT in Berlin, Botox is administered exclusively by specialist physicians. Dr. Meike Schröder offers over 20 years of experience and was among the pioneering practitioners of this treatment in Germany.
