A Few Common Myths Concerning Botulinum Toxin
Sydney Botulinum therapy (BoTox for short) has become ingrained amongst smart Sydney society and now it has become an essential part of a beauty routine for individuals in the city. But I never cease to be amazed by the plethora of half-truths that surround the procedure.
To follow are some of the popular errors frequently encountered at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.
Error # 1: I might not have the ability to express emotion normally!
The human face has around 60 muscles. These muscles ordinarily perform harmoniously, however over time lines can form. If excessive BoTox has been injected facial expression may become over relaxed. Generally physicians use relatively minute dosages to make you look refreshed, yet you will keep your facial expression.
So the correct quantity of BoTox in the proper place means facial expression is retained whilst any wrinkles undergo a softening effect.

Error # 2: Botulinum is a toxic substance!
Actually there is a little truth in this statement. Its medical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. Too large a quantity can loosen facial muscles that you do not want loosened or may even make one extremely sick.
But to help us understand the reality of the situation - a well known chemist’s expression states that ‘everything is a poison - all depending on the dose’. Every medicinal drug can make an individual unwell in large doses. Water can kill you if too much is taken.
Error # 3: BoTox hurts!
Your hair is thicker than the hypodermic needles we use at Star Cosmetic Medicine. Many individuals say that the injections are not as sore as mosquito bites. Definitely not as painful as getting a blood profile.
Error # 4: My face will lose sensitivity!
Not true. Botulinum medicine works on the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, not the nerves of sensation. BoTox only targets the ability to relax muscles.
Error # 5. Once you begin BoTox you need to keep it up or you will get even worse fine lines and wrinkles than earlier!
This is also untrue.
The first treatment is effective for around three months. Consequent treatments do last a few weeks more. The lines will slowly reappear as the muscle returns to normal. Nevertheless your wrinkles definitely will not be more pronounced than before the treatment commenced.
In fact the wrinkles will generally be less evident than if you hadn’t undergone BoTox - even if you don’t repeat the injections. Primarily because your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ during the therapy.
