Patient's question:
How many times of acupuncture will be effective for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Acupuncture involves piercing facial acupoints to unblock facial meridians, allowing necrotic facial nerves to regenerate and restoring their function. Although the possibility of damaging normal facial nerve tissue during acupuncture is much lower than that of surgery, the effects of acupuncture are relatively slow. Generally, when treating facial paralysis with acupuncture, patients usually begin to see noticeable results about a month after starting treatment.
