The Facts You Need to Know about Botox Injections
Sydney Botulinum treatment (BoTox for short) is now popular in Sydney society in fact it is becoming a beauty routine must for many people in the Harbour City. But I never fail to be stunned by the stories surrounding this procedure. Here are some of the more common myths frequently heard at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.
Error Number 1: BoTox will immobilize all my expressions!
The human face has about sixty muscles. The excessive use of these muscles over a period of time can cause the formation of fine lines. When too much BoTox has been injected the facial expression may become a little less expressive. More often than not physicians use relatively small doses to result in you appearing less tired, however you will still be every bit as expressive.
By using small quantities of the toxin in exactly the right tissues facial expression is protected whilst any fine lines and wrinkles undergo a softening effect.
Error Number 2: Botulinum is toxic!
This to a small extent is true. Its scientific name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. In large doses it may loosen facial muscles that you do not want loosened and even may make one very ill.

However to help us understand the reality of the situation - an old chemist’s saying is that ‘everything is poisonous - all depending on the dose’. A large dose of any drug may result in sickness. If you drink too great a quantity of water it can be fatal.
Error Number 3: BoTox injections will be painful!
In our practice Star Cosmetic Medicine the doctor will use needles finer than a human hair. Many patients state that the treatments are not worse than a bug bite. For Certain not painful compared to having a blood profile.
Error Number 4: My face will not be as sensitive!
This is completely wrong. BoTox works on the neuromuscular junction, and not on sensate nerves. Only the ability to relax your muscles is affected by BoTox injections.
Error Number 5. Once you start BoTox you have to continue or else you will develop even worse fine lines and wrinkles than earlier!
Once Again this is just false.
You can expect the treatment to last for up to three months. Any treatments after the first consultation should last a little longer. The wrinkles will slowly return as the muscle returns to normal. But your wrinkles won’t be more pronounced than before the treatment.
Even if you never had BoTox shots ever again - those lines should be less noticeable than if you had not undergone the treatment. This is mainly so due to the fact your facial muscles and skin have had a rest during the treatment.
