These facial symptoms may be nerve-related
- Facial palsy (Facial droop): One eye won’t close fully, drooping mouth corner, leaking when drinking, uneven expressions
- Trigeminal neuralgia (Stabbing facial pain): Electric-shock-like stabbing pain on one side of the face for seconds to minutes, triggered by washing your face, brushing teeth or talking
- Facial asymmetry (Left-right imbalance): Face shape or expressions differ between left and right, possibly related to muscles, posture or bite
Telling trigeminal neuralgia apart from toothache and atypical facial pain, and evaluating facial spasm, require a doctor’s examination.

FAQ
How soon should facial palsy be treated?
The hospital says treatment in the early stage greatly affects the outcome, so see a doctor as early as possible; the speed and extent of recovery vary by person.
Can I be treated if I’m only staying a few days?
The number and spacing of treatments depend on the doctor’s examination. Tell us your onset date and length of stay via K-Clinic on Messenger first to check whether your schedule is enough; you can also ask about inpatient care.
Does Jeongan acupuncture hurt?
Each session uses about 150–200 needles and takes about 1 hour; pain or swelling may occur after needling, and details are explained before treatment.
How do I tell trigeminal neuralgia from toothache?
Trigeminal neuralgia is usually a sudden stabbing pain lasting seconds to minutes, with pain-free periods; toothache is usually constant. A doctor’s examination is still needed to tell them apart.
Are you open on weekends?
Yes. Open 09:00–15:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays (no lunch break).
