A compassionate approach to Blepharospasm

At The Skin Clinicians, we look after more than positive ageing and vitality.

The article below provides a brief understanding Blepharospasm and how we can help.

Blepharospasm is a neurological condition characterised by involuntary spasms or contractions of the muscles around the eyes, leading to uncontrollable blinking or eyelid closure. This condition is often classified as a focal dystonia and can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, including causing functional blindness despite not affecting vision itself.

A range of treatment options is available for blepharospasm. In many cases, small injections are used as a primary treatment. Other medications or surgical interventions may be considered if injections are not suitable or effective for a particular individual.

Karen has advanced training in therapeutic neuromodulation for neurological and movement disorders and is available to assess and discuss potential treatment approaches for patients with blepharospasm. A consultation can help determine the most appropriate options for managing symptoms and supporting quality of life.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of blepharospasm, you are encouraged to make an appointment at The Skin Clinicians. Our team is committed to providing compassionate care and discussing available therapeutic options.
