Facial Tics
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Facial tics are brief, repetitive, involuntary movements of the facial muscles, such as blinking, grimacing, or gestures that the person does not fully control.
Frequent characteristics: they tend to come and go, may increase with stress or tiredness, and, in many cases, ease when concentrating on another activity.
When to see a doctor? When they are persistent, interfere with daily life, cause discomfort, or are accompanied by other neurological symptoms.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist evaluates these movements in adults and the pediatric neurologist when they appear in childhood. If facial tics cause concern or affect day-to-day life, discussing them with a professional helps in understanding their origin and defining the most appropriate follow-up.
