Important Information about Botox Injections
Posted in Cosmetics, Miscellaneous on December 31st, 2009Botox is fast becoming ingrained amongst Sydney’s fashionable set in fact it is becoming a grooming essential for those in the city.
Nevertheless I am frequently surprised by the rumours about this procedure.
Here I have listed some of the more myths often heard at Star Cosmetic Medicine located in Pyrmont, Sydney.
Error # 1: I will not be able to use my facial muscles normally!
The human face has 60 or so muscles. Their persistent use over a period of time may cause fine line formation. The overuse of Botox may result in the face becoming less taut. The quantity injected by almost all doctors will result in you seeming less tired, however your face will continue to be just as expressive.
By employing the proper dosage of the toxin in just the right spot one should get a softening of any fine lines without reducing facial expression.
Error # 2: Botulinum is a toxic substance!
This to a small extent is true. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the proper scientific nomenclature. In very large doses it may result in loss of muscle tone or may even make you very sick.
However to put everything into perspective - a notable pharmacist’s saying states that ‘everything is a poison - all depending on the dose’. A large amount of any medication may bring on sickness. If you drink too much water it will result in death.
Error # 3: Wrinkle injections will be painful!
The needles used at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter smaller than your hair. A lot of people have stated that the injections aren’t as sore as being bit by bugs. It for certain is less sore than a procedure like a blood profile.

Error # 4: I will lose sensation in my face!
This is totally incorrect. Botulinum medicine works on the neuromuscular junction, not sensate nerve fibers. Botox only targets the ability to relax muscles.
Error # 5. You can’t stop having Botox or the lines and wrinkles become more pronounced!
This is also incorrect.
A Botox treatment lasts approximately three months. Any further injections after the first one should be effective for a little longer. The lines will gradually return as the muscle returns to normal. But your lines certainly will not be worse than before the treatment.
Even if you never have Botox shots again - those lines will most likely be a little less severe than if you had never been treated. In the main because your skin has had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ when the Botox was effective.
