Some Words about Sydney Botox
BoTox is now established amongst Sydney’s stylish crowd and now it has become a beauty routine essential for individuals in the Harbour City. All the same I never cease to be stunned by the number of urban legends which surround the simple treatment.
I have included below some of the more myths which I come across everyday at Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I am employed as a doctor.

Mistake Number 1: BoTox might immobilize all my facial expressions!
There are approximately 60 muscles in the human face. The facial muscles usually work in harmony, but over a period of time wrinkles can appear. When excessive BoTox is used the muscles responsible for the expression of emotions may occasionally become over relaxed. The amount injected by nearly all physicians make you appear ‘refreshed’, nevertheless you will still be just as expressive.
Thus the right injection of BoTox in the appropriate place means one should achieve a reduction in the fine lines without any reduction in facial expression.
Mistake Number 2: BoTox is poisonous!
This to a small extent is right. Its medical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. In very large amounts it can loosen facial muscles that you do not want relaxed and can even make one very sick.
Pharmacists have a well-known saying that ‘everything is poisonous – it all depends on the dose’. A large quantity of any medicinal drug will cause sickness. If you drink too great a quantity of water you will die.
Mistake Number 3: BoTox injections will be painful!
Your hairs are thicker than the needles we have at Star Cosmetic Medicine. Numerous individuals state that the injections aren’t worse than a bug bite. Definitely not painful compared to having a vaccination.
Mistake Number 4: I will lose sensation in my face!
Not true. BoTox targets the neuromuscular junction, and not on the nerves of sensation. BoTox just affects the ability to relax muscular tissues.
Mistake Number 5. You need to keep getting BoTox or else the lines become worse!
Again this is just false.
You can expect BoTox to last for in the region of 3 months. Any further treatments after the first visit should last a little longer. Gradually as muscle strength returns, the lines will reappear little by little. However they will definitely not be any worse than previously.
As A Matter Of Fact any wrinkles should be be less evident than if you had never had BoTox – even if you don’t continue the injections. Due to the fact that your skin has had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ whilst the treatment was effective.
