The short answer

What is Migraine Botox, and is it right for you?

Botox is an approved preventive treatment for chronic migraine (headache on 15 or more days a month) in many countries. Injections across the forehead, temples, back of the head and neck may reduce headache frequency.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, a doctor first reviews your headache history; migraine Botox is not a substitute for neurological care. Pricing is quoted at consultation.
