My Experience with Botox for Migraines at Indulge Med Spa
For anyone who’s experienced migraines, you know how debilitating they can be. My own journey with migraines started about 10 years ago, though at first, I would only get them once a year. Over time, the frequency slowly increased, and I eventually found myself dealing with migraines once or twice a month. It was exhausting, both mentally and physically.
I tried everything from chiropractic adjustments to acupuncture, hoping to find some relief. Unfortunately, neither of those options worked long-term for me. Every time I felt a migraine coming on, I’d see the telltale flashing auras in my vision. That was always my first sign. I'd quickly take Excedrin, which sometimes helped, but I could never fully prevent the migraines or figure out what triggered them in the first place. I also wanted to stay away from taking medication so often.
Desperate for a more effective solution, I decided to try Botox for migraines at Indulge Med Spa on Oahu.
The Process
Three weeks ago, I had my first Botox treatment at Indulge Med Spa. They injected Botox into several key areas: my forehead, between my eyebrows, slightly above my temples, and my traps (the muscles around my neck and shoulders). My provider explained that we’d start with a smaller amount so that my body could gradually adjust to it.
Today, I went in for a follow-up. Based on how I was feeling, we added a little more Botox in new spots: my masseters (the muscles near my jaw), the top of my temples, and a bit more in my traps. I really appreciated their cautious and tailored approach. Rozanne is so knowledgeable and so sweet she makes you feel so comfortable.
The Results So Far
Here’s the exciting part: since my first session, I haven’t had a single migraine! This has been life-changing for me. The intense pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light that used to disrupt my life are now, thankfully, in the past. I’m feeling so hopeful that this might be the long-term solution I’ve been searching for.
My Recommendation
If you’ve been struggling with migraines, I can’t recommend Botox enough. It’s been a game-changer for me. While the idea of getting injections might seem daunting, the relief I’ve experienced is absolutely worth it. The injections are painless and are administered so quickly. My appointment including the consultation was around half an hour. Migraines are incredibly disruptive, and I know firsthand how hard it is to live with them.
If you’re in Oahu and have been thinking about trying something different, I highly recommend checking out Indulge Med Spa. They truly listened to my concerns and worked with me to find a treatment plan that has made such a positive impact on my life.
