BOTOX for Facial Paralysis In New York City
Facial palsy can cause tightness, asymmetry, and involuntary muscle movements, impacting all areas of life. At Norelle Health, we provide a simple yet highly effective solution: BOTOX, or Botulinum toxin in New York City.
About The Treatment
This treatment works by blocking acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction, thereby relaxing overly tense muscles and preventing unintended facial movements (synkinesis). Our BOTOX for Facial Paralysis in New York City can significantly improve facial function and appearance for those with chronic facial palsy.
During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your condition and determine the ideal timing for BOTOX treatment. In some cases, we may recommend a few physical therapy sessions beforehand to help you gain better control of your facial muscles.
Administering BOTOX is a quick and minimally invasive procedure, typically lasting less than five minutes. We use a tiny needle to inject the medication into the targeted muscles. While slight bruising may occur occasionally, it usually resolves on its own with the application of ice and time.
About The Results
BOTOX typically begins to take effect within two to five days after administration, with maximum benefits becoming noticeable around two weeks. The results usually last between three to six months. If needed, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to re-administer BOTOX, adjusting the doses and targeted muscles as necessary.
BOTOX and Facial Palsy
Facial palsy can result from various conditions, such as Bell’s Palsy, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, Lyme Disease, acoustic neuroma resection, and autoimmune diseases. While many individuals with Bell’s Palsy recover fully, some may experience chronic facial palsy, including tightness and synkinesis—where involuntary muscle movements occur in one area of the face during facial expressions due to disorganized or excessive nerve regeneration.
If you’re dealing with the challenges of facial palsy, such as tightness, synkinesis, or facial asymmetry, our BOTOX for Facial Paralysis at Norelle Health in New York City can offer significant relief and improve your quality of life. Our experienced team will guide you through the process, ensuring you receive the most effective and personalized care to regain control of your facial muscles and restore your natural appearance.
