BoTox is swiftly becoming ingrained in Sydney society in fact it is fast becoming an important part of grooming for many people in the Harbour City. But I never fail to be dumbfounded when I listen to the various half-truths which surround the uncomplicated procedure.

I have outlined below some of the more common mistakes often heard at Star Cosmetic Medicine located in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Myth no. 1: I may lose my facial expressions!

The human face has sixty or so muscles. The facial muscles usually function harmoniously, however over a period of time expression lines may form. When too much BoTox has been injected the muscles of the face may become over relaxed. Most doctors would use comparatively small doses to will result in you seeming less tired, yet your face will continue to look just as expressive.

By employing a carefully measured amount of the wrinkle injection in just the right areas facial expression is maintained whilst any fine lines are smoothed.

Myth no. 2: Botulinum is a poison!
This to a small extent is correct. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the proper pharmacological terminology. An overdose may relax muscles that you do not want loosened or can make one very ill.

However to maintain some perspective - a well known pharmacist’s expression is that ‘everything is a poison - it all depends on the dose’. A large dose of any medicinal drug will cause sickness. Water can be fatal if too much is taken.

Myth no. 3: BoTox hurts!
At Star Cosmetic Medicine the doctor will use hypodermic needles smaller than human hair. Many people have stated that the shots are not worse than mosquito bites. It certainly is not as painful as something like a vaccination.

Myth no. 4: BoTox will deaden my face!
Totally untrue. BoTox targets the neuromuscular junction, and not on the nerves of sensation. Just the ability to relax your muscles is impacted by BoTox.

Myth no. 5. You can’t stop getting BoTox or the lines become even worse!
This is also incorrect.

Botox is thought to last for in the region of 3 months. Any treatments after the first one should last a little longer. The lines will gradually reform as the muscle regains its strength. But your wrinkles definitely will not be more pronounced than before the treatment.

As A Matter Of Fact the wrinkles should be be softer than if you hadn’t undergone BoTox treatment - even should you don’t persevere with the treatment. This is mainly so due to the fact your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ during the treatment.
