Dr. Alexander Landfield
Board-Certified Neurologist & Medical Director
Botox is FDA-approved for the prevention of chronic migraines, defined as 15 or more headache days per month. At Rani Beauty Clinic, Dr. Landfield's background as a board-certified neurologist provides unique expertise in this treatment.
Botox for migraines works differently than Botox for wrinkles. When injected around the head and neck, Botox blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission, preventing them from reaching nerve endings. This interrupts the migraine pathway before pain signals reach the brain.
The treatment protocol for migraines involves injections at 31 specific points across the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck, and upper shoulders. Treatments are given every 12 weeks, and most patients notice improvement after 2-3 treatment cycles. Clinical studies show a 50% or greater reduction in migraine days for many patients.
Dr. Landfield's neurological training is particularly relevant for migraine Botox. Understanding headache pathology, nerve anatomy, and pain pathways allows for precise, effective treatment that goes beyond cosmetic injection skills.
