Won Me

Sydney Botulinum therapy (BoTox for short) is rapidly becoming established amongst Sydney’s stylish crowd in fact it is becoming a grooming necessity for numerous people in the city. But I never cease to be surprised by the various stories and half truths that have originated in connection with the procedure. I have outlined below some of the more popular errors which we encounter daily at Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I am employed as a physician.

Misconception Number 1: I will not have the ability to express emotion normally!

Visit and hop over to our brilliant web site for Sydney Botulinum injections products.

Research has found there are sixty or so muscles in the human face. Their extensive use over a period of time may cause the formation of wrinkles. Too many treatments of BoTox have the effect of the muscles of the face appearing over relaxed. The quantity injected by most doctors will result in you looking less tired, nevertheless you will keep your facial expression.

Therefore a carefully calculated quantity of BoTox in the right place means an expressive face is maintained whilst any lines undergo a softening effect.

Misconception Number 2: Botulinum is a deadly poison!
This to some extent is true. Its pharmaceutical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. Too great a quantity may end up in loss of muscle tone or can cause serious illness.

However to maintain some perspective - an old chemist’s saying is that ‘everything is poisonous - it all depends on the dose’. A large quantity of any drug may induce sickness. If you drink too much water you will die.

Misconception Number 3: BoTox will hurt!
Your hair is thicker than the needles we have at Star Cosmetic Medicine. Some individuals compare the injections to bug bites. Definitely not as sore as having a regular shot.

Misconception Number 4: I might lose feeling in my face!
Not true. BoTox acts on the neuromuscular junction, not sensate nerve fibers. BoTox just targets the ability to relax muscles.

Misconception Number 5. You can’t stop having BoTox or else the wrinkles become more noticable!
Also wrong.

One set of injections will last around 3 months. Any further treatments after the initial one commonly last a few weeks longer. Gradually as muscle strength returns to normal, the lines will slowly reform. But they will certainly be no worse than when you began.

Even if you do not have BoTox ever again - any wrinkles should be less severe than if you hadn’t undergone the procedure. Due to the fact that your facial muscles and skin have had a rest during the therapy.
