Chronic migraine is one of the most disabling conditions a person can live with. At Alpha Medical Limassol, therapeutic Botox is one of the most requested services — providing reliable migraine-day reduction for patients who have often tried everything else.
This guide walks you through what to expect as a patient, from consultation to your first treatment to your next cycle.
The Initial Consultation
The first step is a thorough consultation with one of our physicians. We review your migraine history, current medications, previous preventatives, and ensure chronic migraine is the correct diagnosis. We also walk through the PREEMPT protocol, realistic expectations, and potential side effects.
Your First Treatment
Using the PREEMPT protocol, 31-39 small injections are administered across the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck and shoulders. The treatment takes 15-20 minutes. Most patients experience only mild pinching sensations, and there is no downtime — you walk out and continue your day.
Tracking Results Across Cycles
We ask patients to keep a simple migraine diary. Some patients respond well after the first cycle; most reach maximum benefit after 2-3 cycles (6-9 months). We review progress at 4-6 weeks and adjust the protocol if needed for the next cycle.
