1. Guide and support for performing craniofacial punctions characterized by comprising:
a variable diameter ring (3) that connects to a concentric needle carrier (4) through graduated hinges (3g), where an outer edge of said variable diameter ring (3) is connected to one arch (1a) of a headband (1) on one of upper edges of said variable diameter ring (3) and at a lower edge of said variable diameter ring (3) is connected to a lateral plate section (5), wherein the needle carrier (4) is composed of a rotating external needle support (4a) and a concentric spherical central support (4b) that rotates 360° inside the external needle support (4a); and
a fastener coupling (2) composed of a concave piece (2a) that connects to a spherical piece (2c) for free rotation, where the spherical piece (2c) at one end has a rod that is held securely to an inner face of the concave piece (2a) with a clasp (2b), and at an opposite end, the spherical piece (2c) has two arms (2d) that hold a fastener (2f) whose surface is configured to apply pressure to a face or onto a cranium of a user, said fastener (2f) is fitted with slides (2e) and moves freely over ends of the arms (2d) and connects to another opposing fastener (2f) through a detachable adjustable strap (6) to secure the headband (1) to the user.
