Who’d Have Thought? All Pertaining to Botox Sydney
Sydney Botulinum medicine (B.tox for short) has become the latest style amongst Sydney’s stylish crowd in fact it is becoming a grooming essential for those in Sydney. But I never fail to be astonished when I hear the rumours about this procedure. Below are some of the more myths that we come across daily in Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I practise as a doctor.
Misconception no. 1: I won’t be able to use my facial muscles normally!
Research has determined there are around 60 muscles under the skin of your face. The excessive use of these muscles over a period of time can cause the formation of wrinkles. Too large a dose of B.tox have the effect of the face appearing too relaxed. Most doctors would use comparatively low dosages to make you appear refreshed, but still you will always keep your natural expression.

Thus the right quantity of B.tox in the appropriate place means you will have a reduction in the lines without compromising facial expression.
Misconception no. 2: B.tox is a toxin!
There is a little truth in this. Its medical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. Too great a dose can loosen facial muscles that you do not want loosened and may make you extremely ill.
However to put matters into perspective - an ancient pharmacy saying is that ‘everything is a poison - it all depends on the dose’. Every medicine will make anyone extremely sick in large enough doses. In fact water can be fatal if you take too much.
Misconception no. 3: B.tox will hurt!
Your hair is larger than the needles we use at Star Cosmetic Medicine. Quite a few individuals have stated that the shots are not as sore as mosquito bites. It is certainly less sore than something like a blood profile.
Misconception no. 4: I will lose feeling in my face!
Not true. B.tox works primarily on the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, and not on sensate nerve fibers. B.tox just impacts on the ability to relax muscular tissues.
Misconception no. 5. You must keep getting B.tox or else the wrinkles become more noticable!
Again this is simply wrong.
The first B.tox treatment lasts around three months. Any further injections after the initial one should be effective for a few weeks longer. The lines will gradually re-emerge as the muscle returns to normal. However they will certainly be no deeper than before.
Even if you do not have B.tox ever again - any wrinkles should be better than if you had never been treated. This, of course is primarily due to the fact your facial muscles and skin have had a rest when the B.tox was effective.
