Information You Need to Understand about BoTox Injections
Botulinum therapy (abbreviated to BoTox) has become the latest style in Sydney society and now it has become an important part of any beauty routine for many in the Harbour City.
But I am frequently astonished when I hear the stories in connection with the procedure. Here I have outlines a few of the myths often heard at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.
Myth # 1: My facial muscles could freeze!
There are approximately 60 muscles underneath the skin of your face. Their extended use over a period of time may cause wrinkles. When surplus BoTox has been used facial expression may become over relaxed. The quantity injected by virtually all physicians make you look ‘refreshed’, however you will remain every bit as animated.
Indeed the right quantity of BoTox in the proper place means you can have a reduction in the fine lines and wrinkles without reducing facial expression.

Myth # 2: Botulinum is a toxic substance!
There is a grain of truth in this. Its scientific name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. Too great a dose can result in loss of muscle tone or can make one really ill.
However to put matters into perspective - an old pharmacist’s expression states that ‘everything is a poison - it all depends on the dose’. Every drug will make anyone extremely unwell in big enough amounts. If you drink too great a quantity of water it can kill you.
Myth # 3: It will sting!
The needles we use at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than your hair. Quite a few people have stated that the injections are not as painful as a bug bite. It is decidedly not as sore as something like a vaccination.
Myth # 4: BoTox will deaden my face!
This is completely false. BoTox works primarily on the neuromuscular junction, not the nerves of sensation. Only the ability to relax your muscles is impacted by BoTox injections.
Myth # 5. You must keep getting BoTox otherwise you might wrinkle faster than before!
Also wrong.
Botox is expected to last for up to three months. Any further injections after the initial one should be effective for a few weeks longer. The wrinkles will gradually reform as the muscle returns to normal. But they will definitely not be any more pronounced than before.
Even if you never had BoTox treatments again - any wrinkles should be less pronounced than if you had not undergone the procedure. Due to the fact that your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ during the treatment.
