Sydney Botulinum medicine (BoTox for short) is fast becoming established in Sydney society and has become an essential part of a beauty routine for people in the Harbour City.

Yet I am often stunned when I hear the number of urban legends which surround the procedure. Here I have outlines a few of the common myths frequently heard at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Mistaken Belief Number 1: The muscles in my face might stiffen up!

The human face has about sixty muscles. Their continued use can cause line formation. Too large a dose of BoTox may result in the face appearing a liile bit less taut. The quantity used by almost all doctors result in you seeming refreshed, nevertheless you will of course maintain your facial expression.

So by using tiny amounts of the BoTox in exactly the right tissues facial expression is maintained whilst the wrinkles undergo a softening effect.

Mistaken Belief Number 2: BoTox is a deadly poison!
This to a small extent is correct. Its pharmaceutical term is Botulinum Toxin Type A. An overdose can end up in loss of muscle tone and even can cause sickness.

But to keep matters in perspective: an old chemist’s saying states that ‘everything is a poison - it all depends on the dose’. A large amount of any medication will cause illness. Water can kill you if you take too much.

Mistaken Belief Number 3: It will hurt!
Your hairs are larger than the hypodermic needles we have at Star Cosmetic Medicine. A lot of individuals say that the treatments are not as painful as a bug bite. It is certainly less painful than something like a blood test.

Mistaken Belief Number 4: I might lose feeling in my face!
Completely false. BoTox acts on the neuromuscular junction, and not on the nerves of sensation. BoTox just affects the ability to relax muscular tissues.

Mistaken Belief Number 5. You need to keep having BoTox or else you will get worse fine lines and wrinkles than before!
Once Again this is simply untrue.

One set of injections is effective for approximately 3 months. Consequent treatments do last longer. Eventually as muscle strength returns to normal - the wrinkles will reappear little by little. Even So they won’t be any deeper than before the treatment.

Even if you never had BoTox shots again - those lines will most likely be a little less pronounced than if you had not undergone the treatment. Primarily because your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ whilst the BoTox was active.
