Information You Need to Understand about Botox Procedures

Sydney Botulinum therapy (Botox for short) is rapidly becoming established in Sydney society in fact it is fast becoming an essential part of grooming for many in the city.

But I am always surprised when I hear the various stories which surround the routine treatment.

Here I have listed a few of the more myths frequently encountered at Star Cosmetic Medicine located in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Misunderstanding Number 1: Botox can immobilize all my facial expressions!

Below the skin of the face are 60 or so muscles. These muscles usually work in harmony, however over a period of time lines may begin to appear. Too large a dose of Botox may lead to the musculature of the face becoming a liile bit less expressive. The dose used by virtually all doctors result in you seeming less tired, but still you will maintain your normal expression.

Indeed a carefully calculated quantity of Botox in the proper place means one should accomplish a reduction in the fine lines without any compromise in facial expression.

Misunderstanding Number 2: Botulinum is poisonous!
Actually there is a grain of truth in this. Its medical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. In very large amounts it can relax facial muscles that you do not want relaxed or can even make you really ill.

Chemists have a well known saying that states ‘everything is poisonous - all depending on the dose’. A large dose of any medication will result in sickness. If you drink too great a quantity of water you will die.

Misunderstanding Number 3: Botox will be painful!
The hypodermic needles we use at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than your hair. Many individuals have said that the treatments are not worse than getting bitten by a bug. It for certain is less traumatic than a procedure like a vaccination.

Misunderstanding Number 4: My face will be numb!
Not true. Botox affects the neuromuscular junction, and not on the nerves of sensation. Just the ability to relax muscles is affected by Botox injections.

Misunderstanding Number 5. You cannot stop getting Botox or else the wrinkles become even worse!
Again this is simply untrue.

You can expect the first treatment to be effective for upwards of three months. Any treatments after the first visit commonly last a few weeks more. The wrinkles will gradually re-emerge as the muscle returns to normal. However they will certainly be no more pronounced than before.

Even should you do not have Botox ever again - those lines will most likely be a little less severe than if you had not undergone the treatment. This is primarily the case due to the fact your facial muscles and skin have had a rest when the treatment was working.
