HEMIFACIAL SPASMS
Hemifacial or half the face spasm (HFS) is a focal movement disorder. It is a:
- unilateral,
- involuntary,
- tonic or clonic contractions or spasms in face muscles innervated by facial nerve.
It can cause:
- significant distress to patients,
- a sense of facial disfigurement and
- social isolation.
It can cause:
- involuntary eye closure and
- may impair vision and reading.
- Drinking, eating and speech may be affected
At DR BOTOX Pakistan, the primary goal of Botox treatment of HFS is to reduce:
- involuntary movements and
- associated functional limitations and disfigurement caused by HFS.
We strive to improve the patients’ functioning and quality of life.
Botox is considered the standard care for HFS.
Dr BOTOX treats HFS by injecting the affected muscles using very thin hypodermic needles thus achieving excellent clinical results.
