The Marketers’ Senate

Botox is now established amongst Sydney’s stylish set in fact it is becoming a beauty routine essential for some people in the Harbour City.

Still I am often amazed by the various myths that surround the simple procedure.

I have listed below a few of the more common errors that I encounter in my work as a doctor at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Error Number 1: The muscles in my forehead might stiffen up!

Beneath the skin of the face are sixty or so muscles. Their unrelenting use may cause the formation of fine lines. If too much Botox is used the muscular structure that are responsible for the expression of emotions may become a liile bit less expressive. Most doctors would use comparatively minute doses to result in you appearing well rested, nevertheless your face will continue to be every bit as expressive.

Be sure you inspect our superb webpage for Botox Sydney instructions.

So by employing a carefully calculated quantity of the Botox in precisely the right tissues you will get a reduction in any lines without compromising facial expression.

Error Number 2: Botox is a poisonous substance!
This to some extent is right. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the proper medical terminology. Too large a quantity may result in a decrease in muscle tone or can make you very ill.

Pharmacists have a famous expression that states ‘everything is poisonous - all depending on the dose’. Any medicine in a large dosage may make you unwell. If you drink too much water it can kill you.

Error Number 3: Botox hurts!
Your hairs are thicker than the needles we have at Star Cosmetic Medicine. Several people compare the shots to bug bites. Definitely not as painful as having a vaccination.

Error Number 4: Botox will deaden my face!
Not true. Botulinum medicine works on the neuromuscular junction, not sensate nerves. Just the ability to relax muscles is affected by Botox injections.

Error Number 5. You can’t stop having Botox or you will develop worse fine lines and wrinkles than earlier!
Again this is simply incorrect.

A treatment is effective for around 3 months. Later injections tend to last a few weeks more. The lines will slowly return as the muscle recovers its normal function. Nevertheless your lines will not be more pronounced than before the treatment commenced.

Even if you never had Botox ever again - those lines will most likely be a little better than if you had not been treated. This is obviously because you have given your skin a ‘wrinkle holiday’ when the Botox was active.
