Botox Sydney: What Everyone Should Really Learn about it All
August 30th, 2009Sydney Botulinum therapy (BoTox for short) has become the latest thing in Sydney society and has become a grooming essential for people in Sydney. But I am frequently astounded by the stories in connection with the treatment.
Here I have included a few of the more myths which I come across day in day out in Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I am employed as a doctor.
Delusion Number 1: I will not be able to express myself normally!
Research has found there are 60 or so muscles under the skin of your face. Their extensive use over a period of time may cause the formation of expression lines. If surplus BoTox has been employed the muscular structure which are responsible for facial expression can become too relaxed. Most doctors would use relatively small quantities to are calculated to make you look ‘refreshed’, nevertheless your face will remain every bit as animated.

Thus a carefully measured amount of BoTox in the right site means one can get a softening of the fine lines and wrinkles without compromising facial expression.
Delusion Number 2: BoTox is poisonous!
This to a small extent is right. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the correct scientific terminology. Too great a dose may end up in loss of muscle tone and can even cause illness.
Pharmacists have a famous saying that ‘everything is poisonous - all depending on the dose’. Any medication in a large amount may make you unwell. If you drink too great a quantity of water it can kill you.
Delusion Number 3: BoTox injections will be painful!
The needles used at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than a human hair. Several people liken the injections to a mosquito bite. It is decidedly less painful than something like a blood test.
Delusion Number 4: I will lose sensation in my face!
Not true. BoTox targets the neuromuscular junction, and not on the nerves of sensation. BoTox only impacts on the relaxation of muscles.
Delusion Number 5. Once you begin getting BoTox you have to keep getting it or you may age faster than before!
This is also incorrect.
You can expect BoTox to last for up to 3 months. Subsequent injections do last a little longer. Eventually as muscle strength builds up again - the lines will slowly reappear. However they won’t be any deeper than when you began your BoTox therapy.
In fact the wrinkles will in general be less noticeable than if you hadn’t undergone BoTox treatment - even if you don’t repeat the injections. Mainly because your skin has had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ during the therapy.
