How we treat it
Dr. Samir first finds the cause of the spasm, then decides whether and where to inject. The effect is temporary, so treatment may need repeating.
Cosmetic treatment is planned around your goals and your eye health.

Common questions
Do I need Botox for eye twitching?
Not always. An occasional twitch does not need injections. A spasm that keeps coming back should be checked.
How long does it last?
The effect is temporary. Dr. Samir tells you what to expect for your condition.
What are the side effects?
Dry eye, a temporary droopy lid, an uneven look or double vision. Dr. Samir explains these before treatment.
I have had injections before. What should I bring?
The product and dose record, the dates, how long it helped and any side effects.
