Facial Palsy

Following a facial palsy, some patients develop muscle tightness, synkinesis (unwanted muscular contractions) or facial asymmetry. Botulinum toxin can be used to help mange the effects of synkinesis, improve facial symmetry and improve facial function.

Botulinum toxin is widely recognised as a first line treatment for hemifacial spams and can help to reduce the frequency of the spasms, improve facial function ans enhance quality of life.
