If you struggle with chronic migraines, you know how debilitating they can be—affecting your work, mood, and overall quality of life. But don’t have to live with the constant pain and disruptions. At MetaLab, we offer targeted, science-backed treatments designed to help reduce migraine frequency, intensity, and duration, so you can regain control of your life & get back to feeling your best
More than just a wrinkle relaxer, Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is an FDA and Health Canada-approved treatment for chronic migraine relief. By targeting overactive nerve signals and reducing inflammation, Botox helps prevent migraines before they start.
How Botox Works
Botox is injected into specific head, neck, and shoulder muscles to help:
Blocks pain signals:
Botox prevents the release of pain-related neurotransmitters, like CGRP and Substance P that trigger inflammation and pain. Helping to stop migraines before they start
Reduces muscle tension:
Helps prevent strain-related headache triggers. By relaxing overactive muscles and easing tightness/tension that contributes to nerve compression and vascular inflammation
Improves blood flow:
Relaxed muscles allow better circulation, reducing inflammation buildup around the brain’s pain centres
Benefits of Botox
Prevention, not just relief: Botox is a proactive treatment that helps stop migraines before they start
Decreased frequency: Many patients experience a significant reduction in migraine frequency and severity
Long-lasting results: Effects last about 3 months, reducing the need for daily medications
Minimal side effects: Compared to traditional migraine medications, Botox is a localized treatment with fewer systemic effects
Improves quality of life: Reduces migraine-related disability and allows for a more active lifestyle. Less pain means more energy & better sleep.
What to Expect During a Botox Session
A typical Botox treatment session for migraines is quick, safe, and minimally invasive:
The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes, with no downtime—patients can resume normal activities immediately
Using a fine needle, Botox is injected into specific points across the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck, and shoulders
Improvements are typically noticeable within 2-4 weeks, with full benefits lasting about 3 months
At MetaLab, we take a comprehensive approach to migraine relief. Alongside Botox, we offer:
IV therapy (magnesium, B vitamins, and hydration) to address deficiencies and prevent triggers
Glutathione & NAD+ therapy for neurological health and reduced oxidative stress
Regenerative medicine techniques to support long-term inflammation control
Combine Botox with IV therapy, functional medicine, and regenerative treatments for a comprehensive, long-term migraine management solution.
