Twitching Eyes/Blepharospasm
Our expert team utilizes targeted treatments, including Botox injections, to relax the overactive muscles causing eye twitching.
Are twitching eyes disrupting your daily life?
Blepharospasm, a condition characterized by involuntary eye muscle spasms, can be uncomfortable and impact your quality of life. At Aqua Medical Spa, we offer advanced therapeutic solutions to help you find relief and regain control.
What is Blepharospasm?
Blepharospasm is a neurological condition characterized by the involuntary and repetitive contraction or twitching of the muscles around the eyes. This uncontrollable blinking or eye closure can range from mild twitching to severe spasms that interfere with vision and daily activities.
Ideal Treatment Area(s)
Treatment for blepharospasm focuses on the muscles and regions surrounding the eyes where involuntary spasms occur. Key areas include:
Orbicularis Oculi Muscle:
The primary muscle responsible for eyelid movement and blinking. Botox injections or other treatments target this muscle to reduce spasms and restore control.
Upper and Lower Eyelids:
These areas are directly affected by twitching or spasms and are treated to alleviate discomfort and improve vision.
Periorbital Area (Around the Eyes):
The surrounding muscles and tissues may also be involved in severe cases, requiring targeted therapy to relax overactive muscles.
Forehead Muscles:
Tension or spasms in the forehead may contribute to or exacerbate symptoms and are sometimes treated to provide additional relief.
Expectations
After blepharospasm treatment, such as Botox, patients can expect noticeable relief from symptoms and improved quality of life. Spasms typically decrease within a few days to a week, improving vision and comfort as muscles relax. Recovery is quick with minimal downtime, though mild side effects like redness or swelling may occur and resolve within days.
