So You Need Some Advice Relating to Sydney Botox?
Sydney Botulinum injections (BoTox for short) has become established in Sydney society in fact it is becoming an integral part of grooming for many individuals in Sydney.
Nevertheless I am often stunned when I listen to the various stories that have developed around this simple treatment.
To follow are some of the common stories frequently encountered at Star Cosmetic Medicine located in Pyrmont, Sydney.
Fallacy # 1: I could lose the ability to express emotion!
Underneath the skin of the face are about 60 muscles. The facial muscles normally work in harmony, however from excessive movement wrinkles can appear. Too many injections of BoTox have the effect of the muscles of the face becoming slightly less expressive. Broadly speaking physicians use comparatively small doses to will result in you seeming refreshed, however your face will remain just as animated.
Thus by employing tiny quantities of the BoTox in just the right muscles you should have a reduction in the wrinkles without compromising facial expression.
Fallacy # 2: Botulinum is a poison!
There is a little truth in this. Its scientific name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. In very large doses it can loosen muscles that you do not want relaxed and even may cause sickness.
But to put matters into perspective - a notable pharmacy expression states that ‘everything is a poison - all depending on the dose’. Every medicine in a large quantity will make you sick. If you drink too great a quantity of water you will die.
Fallacy # 3: It will hurt!
Your hairs are thicker than the hypodermic needles we have at Star Cosmetic Medicine. Some individuals liken the treatments to bug bites. Certainly not as sore as getting a vaccination.
Fallacy # 4: My face will be less sensitive!
Completely untrue. BoTox affects the neuromuscular junction, and not on sensate nerve fibers. Just the ability to relax muscles is affected by BoTox injections.
Fallacy # 5. Once you begin getting BoTox you need to continue or the lines and wrinkles become more pronounced!
Once More this is simply untrue.
B.tox is expected to be effective for up to three months. Consequent treatments do last a few weeks more. The wrinkles will eventually reappear as the muscle returns to normal. However they will certainly not be any more pronounced than when you began.
In fact the lines will more often than not be softer than if you had never had BoTox injections - even when you don’t repeat the therapy. In the main because your facial muscles and skin have had a rest for a few months.
