Facial Tic
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A facial tic is a brief, repetitive, involuntary movement of the facial muscles, such as blinking, grimacing, or twitching of the cheek, that the person makes without intending to.
Common causes: They may be related to nervous tension, fatigue, or neurological factors; in many cases they are mild and temporary, although sometimes they persist.
Frequent symptoms: Sudden, repeated movements in an area of the face, which tend to increase with stress and decrease with calm or rest.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the one who evaluates facial tics to understand their origin and rule out other conditions. If these movements become frequent or bothersome, it is worth discussing it with this professional to receive appropriate guidance.
