Bell’s palsy is a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of your face. Damage to the facial nerve that controls muscles on one side of the face causes that side of your face to droop. The nerve damage may also affect your sense of taste and how you make tears and saliva. A special treatment protocol using micro-current was created specifically to treat Bell’s palsy and reverse its effects. The protocol involves a regular series of treatments that deliver a very low electrical current to the affected parts of the face. By recharging the electrical components of the cells, the face has the power to “lift” again, and paralyzed facial expressions “release” and regain a normal appearance. Because of the success of this protocol, it is also used a non-surgical facelift treatment. Unlike other electrical stimulating devices, the micro-current instrument delivers a healing current which is barely perceptible, and deeply relaxing. Many people fall asleep during the treatment.
