Elimination of Synkinetic Facial Muscle Movements 

Pathological synkinesis treatment (involuntary movements post-facial nerve paresis recovery) using botulinum toxin, facial gymnastics, physiotherapy and selective hyperactive muscle relaxation.

Duration30 minutes
Rehabilitation3-4 weeks

Available sections:

Who it’s for

  • Patients after facial nerve palsy (e.g., Bell’s palsy, post‑traumatic or post‑surgical nerve damage).
  • People with visible “mirror” movements: eye squinting when smiling, mouth twitching when blinking, or nose moving with lip motions.
  • Those with long‑standing facial asymmetry or spastic, unnatural facial expressions.
  • Patients who have completed or are undergoing facial nerve rehabilitation (neurosurgery, physiotherapy, botulinum therapy).

When to come

  • When you notice clear facial asymmetry or “crossed” movements that make your smile or expression look unnatural.
  • If certain parts of the face move together involuntarily, causing discomfort or social embarrassment.
  • After the main facial nerve recovery phase, when the facial expression remains unstable or distorted.

Recovery time

  • Mild swelling or a temporary feeling of altered movement in targeted muscle areas for 2–3 days.
  • The main effect stabilizes within 7–14 days, with more balanced and natural facial motion.
  • We recommend periodic maintenance sessions (1–2 times per year) to preserve the corrected expression and prevent recurrence of synkinesis.
