Persistent tension at the back of your head can make it difficult to feel at ease. Where overactive muscles contribute, targeted treatment focuses on reducing their pull, with care shaped around the location of your symptoms and the comfort you need through the day.
What is occipital Botox treatment?
Occipital Botox places botulinum toxin into selected muscles at the back of the head. Examination identifies the location of pain or tension and the muscles involved before the injection pattern is planned.
When do you choose this treatment?
Book an assessment if pain or tension at the back of your head appears linked to muscle activity. The aim is to establish the cause and identify whether targeted muscle relaxation belongs in your care.
Safety of Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin treatment starts with a medical assessment of your health, medicines and the area being treated. Temporary bruising, tenderness or unwanted weakness can occur. Seek urgent medical attention for difficulty swallowing or breathing, or weakness beyond the treated area.

Here’s what to expect at each stage, from your consultation to your follow-up.

Before the treatment
Share your medical history, allergies, medicines and previous procedures, and do not stop prescribed medicine unless the prescribing clinician advises it. Avoid treatment during active infection and tell the clinician about pregnancy, breastfeeding or neuromuscular conditions.
After the treatment
Keep the treated area clean and avoid rubbing or pressing it for the rest of the day. Stay upright for about four hours unless your clinician advises otherwise. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and hot baths for 24 hours, and attend your planned review. Contact DIVINE Medica immediately for severe pain, rapidly increasing swelling, fever, pus, vision changes or another severe reaction.

Your clinician examines the painful area and reviews how symptoms relate to muscle movement. Treatment points follow the findings of that assessment rather than the location of pain alone.
Appointments usually take 20-45 minutes. Early changes are usually seen within 3-7 days. The full response is usually assessed after 2-4 weeks. The effect commonly lasts about 3-6 months, but response varies by condition, dose and patient. Your prescriber plans repeat treatment around returning movement or symptoms and the appropriate treatment interval.
Discomfort is typically rated 2-3 out of 10. Topical numbing is available when appropriate. Downtime is minimal, and most people return to normal daily activity the same day. Small raised injection marks or mild swelling may last a few hours and occasionally up to 1-2 days.
