What It Is

Hemifacial spasm — involuntary twitching of one side of the face — responds excellently to precisely placed micro-doses of botulinum toxin, calming the overactive facial-nerve signal for months at a time.

What to Expect

10–15 minute session with very fine needles
Effect begins within days and lasts 3–4 months
Over 90% of patients achieve meaningful control
Doses refined cycle by cycle to your response

Who It Is For

Anyone with persistent one-sided facial twitching. MRI is arranged first to exclude a compressive cause; blepharospasm (both eyelids) is treated the same way.

Aftercare

Avoid rubbing the face for 24 hours. Temporary mild eyelid weakness can occur and resolves; most patients simply book the next cycle.
