A Few of the Common Myths Surrounding BoTox Treatment
BoTox has become trendy in Sydney society and has become an essential part of any beauty routine for people in the city.
Nevertheless I never cease to be startled by the various stories which surround the treatment. Here are some of the myths frequently encountered at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.
Myth Number 1: The muscles in my forehead will freeze!
There are around 60 muscles in the human face. They ordinarily work in harmony, but over a period of time wrinkles may appear. Too many doses of BoTox have the effect of the forehead appearing a liile bit less taut. The dosage used by most physicians are calculated to make you appear refreshed, yet you will still appear every bit as expressive.
Therefore by employing the correct dosage of the toxin in exactly the right areas you should get a softening of the fine lines without compromising facial expression.
Myth Number 2: Botulinum is poisonous!
This to some extent is right. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the correct pharmaceutical terminology. Too large a dose can loosen facial muscles that you do not want loosened or can cause sickness.
Chemists have a famous saying that states ‘everything is a poison - it all depends on the dose’. A large dosage of any medicinal drug will result in sickness. If you drink too much water you will die.
Myth Number 3: BoTox is painful!
In our clinic Star Cosmetic Medicine the physician utilises a hypodermic needle smaller than human hair. Many patients say that the shots are not worse than bug bites. It certainly is less sore than a procedure like a vaccination.
Myth Number 4: BoTox will deaden the sensation in my face!
This is completely false. Botulinum medicine works on the neuromuscular junction, and not on sensate nerve fibers. Just the ability to relax your muscles is affected by BoTox injections.

Myth Number 5. Once you start BoTox you need to keep it up otherwise you will get even worse wrinkles than earlier!
Again this is simply untrue.
You can expect the first treatment to be effective for upwards of three months. Any further treatments after the first visit should last a few weeks longer. The lines will gradually re-emerge as the muscle returns to normal. However they definitely will not be any more pronounced than when you started your BoTox therapy.
Even if you never have BoTox again - any wrinkles will in all probability be a little better than if you had never been treated. Due to the fact that your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ when the BoTox was effective.
