A Pointer Apropos Botulinum Injections Sydney
B.tox is now established in Sydney society and now it has become an integral part of grooming for many people in the city. Still I never fail to be stunned when I hear the various myths which surround the procedure.
Below are a few of the more mistakes which I hear everyday in Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I work as a doctor.
Mistake Number 1: I might not be able to express myself normally!
Under the skin of the face are 60 or so muscles. The excessive use of these muscles can result in wrinkles to appear. Too large a dose of B.tox have the effect of the muscles of the forehead becoming over relaxed. The dosage used by most physicians make you look ‘refreshed’, nevertheless you will of course maintain your natural expression.
By injecting a carefully calculated amount of the toxin in just the right muscles facial expression is preserved whilst any lines undergo a softening effect.
Mistake Number 2: Botulinum is a toxin!
This to some extent is right. Its pharmaceutical term is Botulinum Toxin Type A. An overdose can relax muscles that you do not want relaxed and can even cause illness.
But to help you grasp the bigger picture: a famous pharmacist’s saying states that ‘everything is a poison – all depending on the dose’. All medicines in a large dosage can make you ill. If you drink too great a quantity of water it will result in death.
Mistake Number 3: B.tox hurts!
The hypodermic needles used at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than your hair. Several people have equated the shots to mosquito bites. Certainly not as sore as having a blood test.
Mistake Number 4: I might lose feeling in my face!
False. B.tox affects the neuromuscular junction, and not on sensate nerve fibers. Just the ability to relax your muscles is affected by B.tox.
Mistake Number 5. Once you begin getting B.tox you need to keep getting it or you will have even worse fine lines and wrinkles than ever!
This is also untrue.
A treatment will last approximately 3 months. Consequent injections tend to last a little longer. Gradually as muscle strength returns – the wrinkles will reappear bit by bit. But they will certainly be no deeper than previously.
We do suggest you go to this awesome resource for Botox Sydney hints!
Even if you never had B.tox injections again – any wrinkles should be better than if you had never been treated. This is typically the case due to the fact your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ when the B.tox was working.
