The Silver Bot

BoTox is rapidly becoming the latest style in Sydney society in fact it is fast becoming a grooming necessity for some people in the city.

However I never cease to be surprised by the ludicrous misinformation surrounding this simple treatment. Here I have outlines some of the common errors often encountered at Star Cosmetic Medicine located in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Error Number 1: BoTox might freeze the muscles in my face!

Below the skin of the face are 60 or so muscles. These muscles ordinarily work in harmony, however over a period of time wrinkles may form. The overuse of Botulinum Toxin may result in the muscles of the face becoming too relaxed. Generally doctors use relatively low doses to will result in you looking well rested, nevertheless you will still look just as expressive.

By using tiny amounts of the preparation in precisely the right areas one can have a softening of the wrinkles without any reduction in facial expression.

Error Number 2: Botulinum is a toxin!
This to some extent is right. Its medical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. An overdose can relax facial muscles that you do not want relaxed or can even make you very sick.

However to put things into perspective: an old pharmacy saying states that ‘everything is poisonous - all depending on the dose’. All medications may make someone ill in large enough amounts. Even water can be a poison if too much is taken.

Error Number 3: Wrinkle injections hurt!
In our practice Star Cosmetic Medicine the physician utilises a hypodermic needle smaller than a human hair. Several people have compared the treatments to bug bites. It certainly is less traumatic than a procedure like a blood profile.

Error Number 4: BoTox will deaden the sensation in my face!
This is completely wrong. BoTox affects the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, not sensate nerves. BoTox just affects the relaxation of muscular tissues.

Error Number 5. Once you start BoTox you have to continue or else you will have even worse fine lines and wrinkles than earlier!
Once More this is simply incorrect.

One treatment will last around 3 months. Later treatments do last longer. Gradually as muscle strength returns - the wrinkles will return little by little. Even So they won’t be deeper than before the treatment commenced.

As A Matter Of Fact the wrinkles will generally be softer than if you hadn’t had BoTox injections - even when you don’t persevere with the treatment. Due to the fact that your facial muscles and skin have had a rest when the BoTox was working.
