hi

just been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy and already taking the steroids.  Just wondered if there any views on use of CACI as part of recovery treatment and if so how long should you wait before trying it.

      Hi. It’s a non surgical face lift procedure. It uses electric currents.  I believe it was originally developed to help people with Bell’s palsy but is now used for cosmetic treatments.

    Never heard of it as treatment. For sure you’ll want to wait 3-6 months. Recovery can happen in as little as two weeks and generally a full recovery in 3-6 months. I’d consult with a doctor first smile

      Thanks to you and alexis for the advice sounds like a no go.  As alexis suggests should be patient at see how progresses on its own.  Thanks for getting back.
