In cases of Bell’s palsy, toxin can be injected into the affected area to weaken underlying muscles and improve facial symmetry.
Bell’s palsy causes weakness or paralysis on one side of the face. It happens when the facial nerve gets damaged or stops working properly. This condition is the most common cause of facial paralysis.
To help improve facial balance, providers can inject toxin into the affected area. This relaxes overactive muscles and helps restore symmetry.
Neurotoxin offers a versatile and minimally invasive treatment for Bell’s palsy. It relaxes the affected muscles to reduce spasms and improve facial symmetry both at rest and during movement.
In some cases, it also helps ease facial pain that may come with temporary or, in rare cases, permanent paralysis.
A trained medical provider should perform neurotoxin treatment for Bell’s palsy, as it requires expert knowledge of facial paralysis anatomy.
Botox injections target specific muscles to reduce spasms and improve symmetry both at rest and while moving.
Sometimes, providers also inject the unaffected side to balance facial appearance.
Results usually last 3 to 6 months, depending on the type of neurotoxin used.
Patients should follow their practitioner’s aftercare instructions to optimize results and ensure safety.
