Leading Care for
Bell's Palsy (Facial Paralysis)
Acupuncture has been scientifically proven to be effective for Bell’s Palsy. But effective treatment is not as simple as placing needles on the face—it requires a precise approach tailored to each patient’s affected muscles.
Dr. Seon Song L.ac OMD, a member of the KMPSA (Korean Medical Plastic Surgery Association) and former Vice President of the AOPSA (American Oriental Plastic Surgery Association), brings unique expertise in facial structure and recovery. His deep understanding of facial anatomy allows him to deliver acupuncture treatments that target the root of the problem.
For Bell’s Palsy, timing and frequency matter most—the sooner treatment begins after paralysis occurs, and the more consistently it is applied, the better the chances of full recovery. That’s why our clinic provides an affordable, structured program designed to maximize results and support patients through every step of their healing journey.

FAQ
1. How long does the treatment take/need?
Our treatment program is offered at a cost of $999 per month, and the total number of sessions required for a full recovery depends on when you begin.
-
If you start treatment within the first day or two of onset, full recovery is generally possible within one month, which means one month of our program would likely be sufficient.
-
However, the longer you wait to start, the longer the recovery will take. For example, if a year has passed since the onset, it could take six months or even longer, requiring a longer commitment to the program.
Regardless of the duration, you will see noticeable improvements throughout your treatment.
2. Is herbal medicine necessary?
While you can see some improvement with acupuncture alone, there is a clear difference in outcome when you combine it with herbal medicine. The herbal formulation makes the recovery faster and more effective.
3. What's in the herbal medicine?
Our herbal formulations are customized for each patient. The ingredients used depend on specific symptoms, such as which side of your face is affected, if your eye can close properly, and if you can hold liquid in your mouth. If you wish, we can provide you with a list of the herbs used in your personalized formula.
4. Do I need to get acupuncture every day?
For the most effective and certain recovery, daily treatments are best. If daily sessions are not possible due to insurance or other reasons, you should aim for a minimum of three sessions per week.
5. Is acupuncture for Bell's Palsy painful?
Since the needles are very thin, most patients feel little to no pain. Some even find the treatment relaxing.
6. Can Bell's Palsy come back after treatment?
Recurrence is rare, but it can happen if triggers like stress or viral infections reappear. If it does return, starting treatment early again usually leads to a faster recovery.
7. Is it safe to combine herbal medicine with prescription drugs?
Yes, in most cases it is safe. We always review each patient's medical history and current medications to ensure there are no negative interactions.
8. What happens if I don’t treat Bell's Palsy?
Some patients may partially recover on their own, but many are left with residual weakness, facial asymmetry, or synkinesis (involuntary facial movements). Treatment significantly improves your chances of a full recovery.
