December 4th, 2009 at 4:11 am (Medical Infos, Miscellaneous)

Sydney Botulinum injections (B.tox for short) is fast becoming ingrained in Sydney society in fact it is fast becoming an integral part of a beauty routine for individuals in the city. But I never fail to be amazed when I hear the rumours in connection with the treatment.

I have outlined below some of the myths which I hear day in day out in Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I am employed as a physician.

Misunderstanding Number 1: I will not have the ability to use my facial muscles normally!

The human face has 60 or so muscles. The facial muscles normally work in harmony, however from continued movement lines may form. When too much B.tox has been employed the muscles of the face can sometimes become a little less taut. The amount used by most doctors will result in you seeming refreshed, but still you will maintain your facial expression.

Therefore the correct dosage of B.tox in the right site means facial expression is saved whilst any wrinkles are softened.

Misunderstanding Number 2: Botulinum is a toxin!
There is a little truth in this. Its scientific term is Botulinum Toxin Type A. An overdose may result in a decrease in muscle tone or can even cause serious illness.

Chemists have an old saying that states ‘everything is poisonous - all depending on the dose’. All medicinal drugs may make an individual ill in big enough amounts. If you drink too great a quantity of water it can be fatal.

Misunderstanding Number 3: Wrinkle injections hurt!
Your hairs are larger than the hypodermic needles we have at Star Cosmetic Medicine. Quite a few people have said that the injections aren’t as painful as a mosquito bite. For Certain not in the same ball park as compared to getting a vaccination.

Misunderstanding Number 4: B.tox will deaden my face!
False. B.tox affects the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, not the nerves of sensation. Only the ability to relax your muscles is affected by B.tox.

Misunderstanding Number 5. You cannot stop having B.tox otherwise you will age quicker than before!
Also wrong.

You can expect the first treatment to last for up to 3 months. Subsequent injections do last a little longer. The lines will gradually re-emerge as the muscle regains its strength. However they will certainly be no more noticeable than before.

As A Matter Of Fact the lines will generally be less noticeable than if you had never had B.tox treatment - even when you don’t repeat the treatment. In the main because your skin has had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ for a few months.
