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
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is benign but distressing. MRI once excludes rare structural causes; after that, Botox is the standard of care worldwide.
