It is normal for ordinary people to consider the cost of treatment when seeing a doctor. So how much does it cost to treat hemifacial spasm ? Is there a way to save money? How to save money and be effective at the same time?
Beijing China and Japan Director Yuan Yue of the Department of Neurosurgery of Friendship Hospital pointed out that the cost of treating hemifacial spasm is not fixed. The cost mainly depends on the different conditions of the patient, and the cost is different depending on the treatment method selected.
Can hemifacial spasm be cured with cost-effective methods?
Currently, the cost-effective methods for treating hemifacial spasm in clinical practice include drug therapy and botulinum toxin treatment.
Choosing drug treatment such as oral administration of , carbamazepine, or Delido can temporarily reduce the degree of convulsions, but it cannot cure the convulsions, and taking a large amount of drugs will cause various side effects to the body.

The cost is not expensive, usually ranging from tens to hundreds for a single box, depending on the amount of use and the length of time.
Like botulinum toxin injection, this method is simple to operate and only requires a slight injection on the face. However, this method can only temporarily delay the onset of hemifacial spasm, and the first injection can last for 3 to 6 months. Afterwards, the effect will gradually decrease, and even after repeated accumulation, it will cause irreparable damage to the facial nerve , causing facial paralysis and other conditions. The price of one injection of botulinum toxin varies from hospital to hospital, but the normal price is usually between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan.
The above treatments seem to save money, but in fact they are only temporary and will cost more because they do not fundamentally treat hemifacial spasm. Therefore, the way to save money is to receive regular treatment in time, rather than worrying about the side effects of treatment. Moreover, more important than saving money is that formal treatment is more effective and safety is more controllable.
