Episodic or chronic migraines steal life from victims. The severe pain from a migraine can worsen with activity, leaving the sufferer quite literally in the dark as they try to “get through” this brutal head pain. If it bears the label “chronic,” then those migraines happen for 15 (or more) days a month for at least 3 months.
At Florida Lakes Spa, we shed light on relief with Botox for migraines in Sarasota. Book a consultation, and let’s talk about how Botox may be able to help you when everything else has failed.
Migraine Symptoms
When a patient suffers from migraines, they can experience any (or all) of the following:
- Pain in the form of a throbbing or pounding headache.
- Worsening of the pain from movement or activity.
- Increased negative sensitivity to light, sound, and/or smells.
- Visual disturbances such as a zigzag of blurred vision, blind spots, or flashing lights.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Other symptoms that diminish function, mood, and health.
Choosing Botox
When you come to Florida Lakes Spa to receive Botox for migraines in Sarasota, we’ll first discuss your symptoms and your medical history behind your migraines.

How Botox Helps
Botox derives from a toxin produced by the clostridium botulinum bacterium. In its raw form, this neurotoxin causes muscle paralysis. Botox consists of a purified form of the neurotoxin (onabotulinumtoxin A), delivered in safe, targeted dosages.
Your Florida Lakes Spa provider will inject the Botox into muscles around the head, neck, and face. As it settles, Botox prevents the release of pain-associated chemicals, stopping nerves from sending those signals to the brain. The affected muscles relax and become less stiff while also diminishing their sensitivity to pain.
A Customized Therapy
Your number of injections and injection sites will be determined by your needs. Patients who respond to the therapy usually experience results 2 to 3 weeks after their first treatment. For best results and optimal relief, we may recommend scheduling injections every 3 months or so.
FDA-Approved for Migraines
The FDA has approved Botox for chronic migraines.

Reduce the Power of Migraines
It’s nearly impossible to explain the experience of a migraine to those who rarely or have never suffered one. The overwhelming, debilitating power of a migraine can stop a person in their tracks and steal away the hours of their life.
