Honest Information about Botox Treatment
Botulinum therapy (shortened to B.tox) is rapidly becoming trendy amongst smart Sydney society and has become a grooming must for many in Sydney. Yet I am frequently startled when I listen to the absurd stories surrounding this treatment.
I have included below some of the more errors which we hear daily at Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I work as a doctor.
Mistaken Belief Number 1: I might not be able to express emotion normally!
The human face has sixty or so muscles. The facial muscles ordinarily operate harmoniously, but over a period of time lines may form. Too large a dose of Botulinum Toxin may lead to the face becoming over relaxed. The amount injected by most doctors are calculated to make you look refreshed, yet you will still look every bit as animated.
So the right quantity of B.tox in the right site means an expressive face is kept whilst any fine lines undergo a softening effect.
Mistaken Belief Number 2: Botulinum is toxic!
This to some extent is true. Its pharmaceutical term is Botulinum Toxin Type A. An overdose may result in a decrease in muscle tone or can even make you very sick.
However to help you grasp the bigger picture - an ancient chemist’s expression states that ‘everything is a poison - all depending on the dose’. A large amount of any drug may induce sickness. In fact water can be fatal if enough is taken.
Mistaken Belief Number 3: It will sting!
The hypodermic needles used at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than your hair. A lot of individuals say that the injections aren’t worse than mosquito bites. For Certain not as painful as getting a vaccination.
Mistaken Belief Number 4: My face will lose sensitivity!
Completely untrue. Botulinum medicine works principally on the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, and not on the nerves of sensation. B.tox just impacts on the ability to relax muscles.
Mistaken Belief Number 5. You can’t stop having B.tox or you might wrinkle quicker than ever!
Again this is just untrue.
A treatment will be effective for approximately 3 months. Any further treatments after the first visit should be effective for a little longer. The lines will slowly reappear as the muscle returns to normal. But your wrinkles certainly will not be any deeper than before the treatment started.
Even if you never had B.tox again - those lines should be smoother than if you had not been treated. Due to the fact that your skin has had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ during the treatment.
