Is headache treatment painful?
Most patients describe the injections as causing only mild discomfort. The procedure is quick and generally well tolerated.
Headaches can have a significant impact on daily life, affecting work, family commitments, and overall wellbeing. At Array Aesthetics Belfast, we offer prescription headache treatments administered by experienced medical professionals to help suitable patients achieve long-term relief.
Our approach begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. Following assessment, we can determine whether anti-headache injections are an appropriate option for you.

Most patients describe the injections as causing only mild discomfort. The procedure is quick and generally well tolerated.

Botulinum toxin has been extensively studied and is licensed for the prevention of chronic headache in appropriate patients. As with all prescription treatments, a full consultation is required to assess suitability and discuss risks and benefits.
Results vary. While some patients experience a significant reduction in headache frequency and severity, treatment cannot guarantee complete elimination of headaches.
