Who’d Have Thought? All Pertaining to Sydney Botox Costs
Sydney Botulinum injections (B.tox for short) has become popular in Sydney society and has become an important part of a beauty routine for some individuals in Sydney.
But I never cease to be amazed by the stories in connection with this painless treatment. Below are some of the common errors which I hear all the time in Star Cosmetic Medicine, where I practise as a doctor.
Mistake Number 1: I might lose my facial expressions!
Research has determined there are approximately sixty muscles in the human face. The facial muscles normally work in harmony, however over time expression lines can begin to appear. The overuse of Botulinum Toxin have the effect of the forehead becoming over relaxed. Most doctors would use relatively low amounts to make you appear ‘refreshed’, nevertheless your face will continue to look every bit as animated.
So the proper quantity of B.tox in the right site means you should accomplish a reduction in any fine lines without compromising facial expression.
Mistake Number 2: B.tox is toxic!
This to some extent is correct. Its medical name is Botulinum Toxin Type A. An overdose can result in loss of muscle tone and even can cause sickness.
Pharmacists have a famous saying ‘everything is a poison - it all depends on the dose’. A large amount of any medicine will bring on sickness. Even water can be fatal if too much is taken.
Mistake Number 3: Wrinkle injections will be painful!
The hypodermic needles we use at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than your hair. Some people have compared the injections to bug bites. It certainly is not as painful as a procedure like a vaccination.
Mistake Number 4: I might lose feeling in my face!
This is completely wrong. B.tox works on the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, and not on the nerves of sensation. B.tox only targets the relaxation of muscular tissues.
Mistake Number 5. You can’t stop getting B.tox otherwise the wrinkles become even worse!
Once Again this is simply wrong.
B.tox is believed to be effective for upwards of three months. Subsequent treatments do last longer. Gradually as muscle strength builds up again - the wrinkles will slowly reform. However they will not be any worse than before the treatment.
Even if you never had B.tox injections again - any wrinkles should be smoother than if you hadn’t undergone the treatment. This is primarily the case due to the fact your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ whilst the treatment was effective.
