Treatment for eligible patients.
Before your appointment
A headache diary and previous preventive treatments help establish eligibility. This medical protocol differs from cosmetic botulinum toxin treatment.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- This is a repeat-treatment programme; the specialist confirms the injection and review intervals.
- Hospital stay
- The setting depends on the technique: outpatient sessions, day treatment or an admission may be appropriate. Confirm this in the individual protocol.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Request the number of treatment sessions, their spacing and the review dates. Preparatory tests and monitoring are additional; there is no universal visit count for this treatment.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Track headache days and side effects between visits. Continued treatment depends on response and the specialist’s stopping or review criteria.
