The spasms begin as infrequent, random movements which later become generalized and constant. These involuntary movements are only present on one side of the face, hence the term hemifacial (<em>hemi<\/em>\u00a0means half). The spasms may be a manifestation of a vessel in the brainstem compressing the facial nerve or the presence of a tumor in that area. \u00a0Therefore, it is important to perform an MRI in these patients. If the MRI is normal, the symptoms of the disease can be treated without surgery.<\/p><p>Hemifacial spasm responds very well to treatment with botulinum toxin injections. This is done in the office every two to four months, depending on the product used and the response to treatment. Botulinum toxin helps to relax the muscles and make the spasms disappear or improve significantly. The doses that are necessary to reduce the spasms are much larger than those utilized for aesthetic purposes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6d1e1d2d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6d1e1d2d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3937465b\" data-id=\"3937465b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21165146 textcenter elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"21165146\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Gallery<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21a0d58 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"21a0d58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-482cd1b8 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"482cd1b8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-19863ab4 elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"19863ab4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-23dca567\" data-id=\"23dca567\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f2fbd0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f2fbd0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"display: flex;\"><p style=\"width: 50%; text-align: center;\">Before<\/p><p style=\"width: 50%; text-align: center;\">After<\/p><\/div><p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc1ffeb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc1ffeb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-view-all\"><a href=\"\/en\/eyelid-plastic-surgeon\/facial-plastic-surgery\/galleries\/functional-reconstructive-gallery\/\">View All<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hemifacial spasm (HS) is another neurologic disease that causes involuntary contraction of specific muscles in the face.
