Laser Treatment for Facial Paresis and Facial Paralysis - Advanced Recovery Solutions
Facial paralysis is treated with several types of LLLT lasers with us.
A facial paralysis caused by damage to the movement nerve of the face (nervus facialis). The paralysis can be peripheral, that is, due to damage to the nerve after the nerve’s departure from the central nervous system (brain), or a central damage, which is caused by damage to the central nervous system.
Complete or partial loss of movement in the face (facial paresis; facial paralysis) is very burdensome for the person concerned; the condition affects facial expressions, language and food intake - especially in cases where the lips can no longer be closed.
A peripheral paralysis usually occurs without warning. Some may feel a tingling or numb sensation in the tongue. The paralysis can in some cases come after one has been exposed to drafts, or after a cold, after operations. The most common, however, is that it occurs without a certain explanation or signs of another illness. Such unilateral, peripheral paralysis is a relatively common condition in otherwise healthy people (Bell’s palsy). This paralysis accounts for 75% of all cases of facial paralysis.
Today, experts believe that Bell’s palsy is in most cases due to viral disease with herpes simplex virus type 1 or herpes zoster virus (shingles).
In some cases, peripheral facial paralysis is caused by other diseases such as neuroborreliosis (after a tick bite), sarcoidosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, tuberculosis, injuries after operations in the area, or other rare diseases.
There are also facial paresis that cannot yet be explained
Blood tests may be appropriate to look for antibodies against bacteria or viruses, but the answer to these tests cannot give any definite denial or confirmation of the disease.
