The Cash Trio

Sydney Botulinum therapy (BoTox for short) has become popular in Sydney society in fact it is becoming an essential part of grooming for those in Sydney.

But I am often astonished when I hear the rumours surrounding this simple treatment.

Here I have outlines some of the more myths which I hear frequently at Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I am employed as a doctor.

For more suggestions, we recommend you visit this marvelous resource for Sydney Botulinum injections infos.

Mistaken Belief no. 1: I could lose my facial expressions!

The human face has around 60 muscles. These ordinarily work harmoniously, however from excessive movement fine lines can begin to form. When surplus BoTox is used the facial muscles may become over relaxed. Most doctors would use comparatively minute dosages to result in you seeming less tired, nevertheless you will still look every bit as expressive.

Thus the right injection of BoTox in the right site means one can get a smoothing of any wrinkles without reducing facial expression.

Mistaken Belief no. 2: BoTox is a deadly poison!
Actually there is a little truth in this argument. Its pharmaceutical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. In massive quantities it can end up in loss of muscle tone and can make you extremely sick.

Chemists have an old phrase ‘everything is a poison – all depending on the dose’. Any medication in a large quantity can make you ill. In fact water can kill you if enough is taken.

Mistaken Belief no. 3: Wrinkle injections will be painful!
Your hair is larger than the hypodermic needles we use at Star Cosmetic Medicine. A lot of people have said that the treatments aren’t as painful as getting bit by a mosquito. For Certain not in the same league as compared to getting a blood profile.

Mistaken Belief no. 4: I might lose sensation in my face!
This is completely untrue. Botulinum medicine works principally on the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, and not on the nerves of sensation. BoTox just targets the ability to relax muscles.

Mistaken Belief no. 5. Once you start BoTox you must keep going or you will get worse wrinkles than ever!
This is also false.

The first treatment will be effective for approximately 3 months. Later treatments do last a little longer. The lines will slowly reform as the muscle returns to normal. However they will definitely not be any more noticeable than previously.

Even if you never had BoTox ever again – any wrinkles should be smoother than if you hadn’t undergone the treatment. This, of course is generally so because your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ when the BoTox was active.
