B.tox has become the latest craze in Sydney society in fact it is fast becoming a grooming must for people in Sydney.

Nonetheless I never cease to be stunned when I hear the insane rumours about the treatment. Here I have listed some of the more myths frequently heard at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Error Number 1: B.tox may freeze the muscles in my face!

Research has determined there are around sixty muscles below the skin of your face. The excessive use of these muscles may result in fine lines or wrinkles. When too much B.tox is injected facial expression may occasionally become less expressive. The quantity injected by most physicians result in you appearing ‘refreshed’, but still you will always keep your facial expression.

Thus the right injection of B.tox in the right site means you will get a smoothing of any lines without reducing facial expression.

Error Number 2: B.tox is poisonous!
This to some extent is true. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the exact pharmacological nomenclature. Too great a dose may loosen muscles that you do not want relaxed or can even cause serious illness.

Chemists have an old expression ‘everything is poisonous - all depending on the dose’. Every medicine in a large enough dose will make you ill. Water can be fatal if enough is taken.

We strongly recommend you hop over to our remarkable resource for Sydney Botulinum injections info!

Error Number 3: B.tox is painful!
Your hair is thicker than the hypodermic needles we use at Star Cosmetic Medicine. A lot of patients say that the shots aren’t as sore as a bug bite. Definitely not as painful as having a vaccination.

Error Number 4: B.tox will deaden the feeling in my face!
This is completely incorrect. B.tox affects the neuromuscular junction, not the nerves of sensation. Only the ability to relax your muscles is impacted by B.tox injections.

Error Number 5. You must keep having B.tox or else the lines and wrinkles become even worse!
This is also untrue.

You can expect the treatment to last for upwards of three months. Consequent injections do last a little longer. The lines will eventually reform as the muscle returns to normal. Nevertheless your wrinkles won’t be more pronounced than before the treatment began.

As A Matter Of Fact any wrinkles will in general be softer than if you had never undergone B.tox - even should you never persevere with the therapy. This, of course is generally because you have given your skin a ‘wrinkle holiday’ during the therapy.
