Some Common Myths Surrounding B.tox
Sydney Botulinum medicine (B.tox for short) is fast becoming ingrained amongst Sydney’s fashionable set in fact it is becoming a grooming necessity for numerous individuals in the city.
Nevertheless I never fail to be amazed by the various myths which have originated around this treatment.
I have outlined below a selection of the myths often encountered at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.
Urban Legend no. 1: I might lose my facial expressions!
Under the skin of the face are around sixty muscles. Their continual use may result in wrinkle formation. Too many doses of B.tox have the effect of the muscles of the face appearing a liile bit less taut. Generally physicians use comparatively small dosages to are calculated to make you appear well rested, however you will still be every bit as expressive.
Therefore by injecting conservative quantities of the toxin in exactly the right muscles facial expression is preserved whilst any fine lines and wrinkles undergo a softening effect.
Urban Legend no. 2: B.tox is a deadly poison!
This to some extent is true. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the correct scientific nomenclature. In large quantities it may end up in loss of muscle tone or can cause sickness.
Pharmacists have a well known expression that states ‘everything is a poison - all depending on the dose’. All medicinal drugs can make anyone unwell in large dosages. Even water can be a poison if you take enough.
Urban Legend no. 3: Wrinkle injections will be painful!
Your hair is thicker than the hypodermic needles we have at Star Cosmetic Medicine. A lot of people state that the treatments aren’t as painful as getting bit by a mosquito. For Certain not painful compared to having a regular shot.
Urban Legend no. 4: My face will lose feeling!
Untrue. B.tox works on the neuromuscular junction, and not on the nerves of sensation. B.tox just impacts on the ability to relax muscles.
Urban Legend no. 5. You must keep having B.tox or the lines become even worse!
Again this is simply untrue.
The first set of injections is effective for around 3 months. Further injections do last longer. Eventually as muscle strength builds up again the wrinkles will eventually re-emerge. Nevertheless they certainly will not be any worse than when you began your treatment.
In fact the wrinkles should be be softer than if you hadn’t undergone B.tox - even if you never repeat the injections. Due to the fact that your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ when the B.tox was working.
