Who’d Have Thought? All Apropos of Botulinum Injections Sydney
Sydney Botulinum therapy (B.tox for short) has become a necessity amongst Sydney’s stylish crowd and now it has become a grooming essential for many in the city.

But I am always astonished by the various stories which surround this treatment. I have listed below some of the more popular errors often encountered at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.
Misunderstanding Number 1: The muscles in my forehead may stiffen up!
The human face has around sixty muscles. Their relentless use over a period of time can result in wrinkle formation. The overuse of Botulinum Toxin can result in the muscles of the forehead looking over relaxed. The dose used by nearly all doctors will result in you seeming refreshed, but still you will of course keep your facial expression.
Indeed the right injection of B.tox in the right site means you can have a reduction in any wrinkles without compromising facial expression.
Misunderstanding Number 2: B.tox is poisonous!
This to a small extent is right. Its pharmaceutical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. Too great a quantity can end up in loss of muscle tone or can even cause illness.
Pharmacists have a famous phrase that states ‘everything is poisonous – all depending on the dose’. All drugs in a big enough dosage will make you unwell. In fact water can kill you if you take enough.
Misunderstanding Number 3: B.tox hurts!
The hypodermic needles used at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter smaller than your hair. Some individuals liken the injections to mosquito bites. Definitely not as painful as having a regular shot.
Misunderstanding Number 4: My face will lose sensation!
Completely false. B.tox works on the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, and not on the nerves of sensation. B.tox only affects the relaxation of muscular tissues.
Misunderstanding Number 5. You need to keep getting B.tox or else the lines become worse!
This is also false.
You can expect the first treatment to be effective for up to 3 months. Any treatments after the first consultation ordinarily last a few weeks more. Eventually as muscle strength returns to normal, the wrinkles will eventually reform. But they will definitely not be any more noticeable than previously.
As A Matter Of Fact any lines will in general be less pronounced than if you had never had B.tox treatment – even if you don’t persevere with the therapy. Due to the fact that your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ for a few months.
