Some Hearsay when Going for Sydney Botox Clinics
August 16th, 2009
B.tox has become the latest craze in Sydney society in fact it is becoming a grooming essential for individuals in the city. But I am frequently stunned when I listen to the rumours about the treatment.
Here I have outlines some of the common errors that I hear day in day out in Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I am employed as a physician.
Delusion # 1: I won’t be able to express myself normally!
Research has found there are approximately 60 muscles beneath the skin of your face. The excessive use of these muscles can result in line formation. Too large a dose of Botulinum Toxin may result in the forehead looking less taut. The amount used by most physicians will result in you seeming less tired, but still you will keep your normal expression.
Thus a carefully measured quantity of B.tox in the proper site means one can have a softening of any fine lines and wrinkles without compromising facial expression.
Delusion # 2: Botulinum is a toxic substance!
This to a small extent is right. Its medical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. In massive amounts it can result in a decrease in muscle tone or may even cause serious illness.
Pharmacists have a famous saying that states ‘everything is poisonous - all depending on the dose’. A large quantity of any medicine may bring on illness. Even water can kill you if enough is taken.
Delusion # 3: B.tox is painful!
The hypodermic needles used at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than a human hair. Many patients say that the injections are not worse than bug bites. Certainly not painful compared to having a vaccination.
Delusion # 4: I might lose feeling in my face!
False. B.tox affects the neuromuscular junction, and not on sensate nerves. B.tox only impacts on the relaxation of muscular tissues.
Delusion # 5. You cannot stop having B.tox otherwise the wrinkles become more pronounced!
This is also incorrect.
Botox is believed to last for upwards of 3 months. Any further injections after the first one usually last a few weeks more. Eventually as muscle strength returns - the lines will slowly reappear. However they will certainly not be any more pronounced than previously.
Even if you don’t have B.tox shots ever again - those lines should be less pronounced than if you hadn’t undergone the treatment. This, of course is generally so due to the fact your skin has had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ during the treatment.
