Information You Need to Know about B.tox Procedures

Sydney Botulinum treatment (BoTox for short) is now popular in Sydney society and has become a grooming necessity for many in Sydney. Still I am frequently dumbfounded when I listen to the stories in connection with this procedure. Here I have listed some of the more myths which we come across all the time in Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I work as a physician.

Urban Legend # 1: I might lose the ability to express emotions!

Research indicates there are sixty or so muscles underneath the skin of your face. Their extensive use may cause fine lines or wrinkles. Too many injections of BoTox can lead to the facial musculature becoming a little less taut. The amount used by most physicians will result in you seeming ‘refreshed’, yet you will still appear just as animated.

So the correct quantity of BoTox in the appropriate site means one will achieve a softening of the fine lines and wrinkles without any reduction in facial expression.

Urban Legend # 2: Botulinum is toxic!
There is some truth in this statement. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the correct scientific terminology. Too great a quantity can loosen facial muscles that you do not want relaxed and can even cause illness.

Pharmacists have a well known expression that states ‘everything is a poison – all depending on the dose’. Any medicine in a large enough dosage can make you unwell. If you drink too much water it will kill you.

Urban Legend # 3: Wrinkle injections will be painful!
In our practice Star Cosmetic Medicine the doctor utilises a needle finer than a hair. Some individuals liken the shots to getting bit by mosquitoes. It for certain is not as traumatic as a procedure like a vaccination.

Urban Legend # 4: BoTox will numb the feeling in my face!
Totally incorrect. BoTox affects the neuromuscular junction, and not on sensate nerves. Only the ability to relax muscles is affected by BoTox.

Urban Legend # 5. You must keep having BoTox or else you will have even worse fine lines and wrinkles than ever!
Also untrue.

You can expect BoTox to be effective for up to 3 months. Later injections do last longer. The lines will eventually reappear as the muscle recovers its strength. But they will certainly be no deeper than previously.

Make sure you inspect our marvelous site for Sydney Botulinum injections instructions.

Even if you don’t have BoTox treatments ever again – those lines will most likely be a little better than if you had not been treated. Mainly due to the fact that your facial muscles and skin have had a rest for a few months.
