A Few Remarks regarding Botox Sydney
Botulinum therapy (abbreviated to B.tox) is now popular amongst fashionable Sydney society and these days it has become an essential part of any beauty routine for those in Sydney.
Nevertheless I never cease to be stunned when I listen to the number of stories that surround this simple treatment. Here I have listed some of the myths often heard at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Misunderstanding # 1: The muscles in my forehead might freeze!
Research has found there are 60 or so muscles in the human face. The excessive use of these muscles can cause fine lines to appear. If an excess of B.tox is used facial expression may become somewhat less expressive. By and large physicians use comparatively small doses to make you appear refreshed, but still you will always keep your facial expression.
Indeed a carefully calculated quantity of B.tox in the appropriate place means you should achieve a smoothing of the wrinkles without any compromise in facial expression.
Misunderstanding # 2: B.tox is a toxic substance!
This to a small extent is true. Its medical term is Botulinum Toxin Type A. In very large amounts it can loosen muscles that you do not want loosened and may even make you really sick.
However to help you grasp the bigger picture: a notable chemist’s saying states that ‘everything is poisonous - all depending on the dose’. Any medicinal drug in a big enough dosage will make you ill. Even water can kill you if you drink too much.
Misunderstanding # 3: Wrinkle injections will be painful!
Your hair is larger than the hypodermic needles we have at Star Cosmetic Medicine. Several people have compared the treatments to getting bit by mosquitoes. Certainly not painful compared to getting a blood test.
Misunderstanding # 4: I will lose feeling in my face!
Untrue. B.tox acts on the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, not sensate nerve fibers. B.tox just impacts on the relaxation of muscles.
Misunderstanding # 5. You must keep having B.tox or else you might age quicker than before!
This is also false.
The first set of injections will be effective for approximately three months. Any treatments after the first one should last a little longer. Gradually as muscle strength returns to normal - the wrinkles will return bit by bit. However your wrinkles will not be deeper than when you began your B.tox therapy.
In fact the lines should be be softer than if you hadn’t had B.tox treatment - even if you never persevere with the treatment. This, of course is typically the case due to the fact your skin has had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ whilst the B.tox was effective.
