Here’s What You Need to Know About TheraTox™
If you or someone you love lives with chronic migraines, you already know how completely they take over your life. Canceled plans. Missed work. Hours spent in a dark, quiet room waiting for the pain to pass. Most people don’t realize that neurotoxin for chronic migraines is a clinically proven, FDA-approved preventive option. At Radiant Aesthetics, we offer this through our TheraTox™ menu at both our Hudson Oaks and Granbury locations. We want more of our community to know this treatment exists.
What Qualifies as Chronic Migraine?
Doctors define chronic migraine as headaches occurring on 15 or more days per month. At least 8 of those days must involve migraine features. Think throbbing pain, nausea, or sensitivity to light and sound. This pattern must persist for at least three months. If that sounds like your reality, you are not alone. You deserve more than managing each attack as it comes. Preventive treatment exists, and it works.
What Is the PREEMPT Protocol?
The PREEMPT Protocol stands for Phase III REsearch Evaluating Migraine Prophylaxis Therapy. It is the only FDA-approved, locally administered neurotoxin treatment for chronic migraine prevention. The FDA granted approval in 2010, and it has since become a trusted standard of care for qualifying patients.
This treatment delivers precise injections into 31 fixed sites across 7 key muscle groups. These sites target the head and neck, including the forehead, temples, back of the head, and neck and shoulder muscles that commonly drive migraine patterns. Most sessions take less than 30 minutes. Treatments repeat every 12 weeks.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?

Clinical studies show an average 50% reduction in monthly headache days for patients using neurotoxin for chronic migraines. Patients who respond especially well reach up to 75%. If you currently have 20 migraine days per month, consistent treatment could bring that down to 5 to 10.
Results build over time. Neurotoxin relaxes the muscles that drive the migraine cycle. Most patients notice improvement after their first or second treatment cycle. Results continue to strengthen with ongoing care.
What to Expect at Your TheraTox™ Appointment
Both our Hudson Oaks and Granbury locations offer TheraTox™ migraine treatments in a comfortable, in-office setting. Before your first session, we review your migraine history, frequency, and any previous treatments. This helps us confirm the PREEMPT Protocol fits your needs.
The injections move quickly. Most patients describe a series of small, brief sensations across the treatment areas. There is no downtime. You can drive yourself home and return to your normal routine the same day. We recommend tracking your headache days in a journal or app between appointments. This helps us monitor your progress and fine tune your plan as you go.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Neurotoxin for Chronic Migraines?
TheraTox™ works well for adults who experience headaches 15 or more days per month. It is a strong fit for patients who have not found adequate relief through oral preventive medications. It also works well for those who prefer to skip daily pills. If you want a proactive approach over reactive care, or a provider has already recommended preventive migraine treatment, TheraTox™ may be the right move.
The PREEMPT Protocol carries FDA approval for chronic migraine specifically, not episodic migraine (fewer than 15 headache days per month). At your consultation in Hudson Oaks or Granbury, we review your history together and determine the best path forward.
