B.tox has become established in Sydney society and now it has become an integral part of a beauty routine for many in the city. But I am often astonished when I hear the various urban legends which have originated in connection with the procedure. Below are a few of the myths that I encounter working as a doctor at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Mistake no. 1: B.tox may immobilize all my facial expressions!

Research shows there are sixty or so muscles in the human face. The facial muscles ordinarily work in harmony, but over a period of time expression lines may start to form. If too much B.tox is used the musculature responsible for facial expression can occasionally become over relaxed. Most doctors would use relatively minute amounts to are designed to make you appear refreshed, yet you will continue to be just as animated.

So the correct injection of B.tox in the proper site means an expressive face is protected whilst any wrinkles undergo a softening effect.

Mistake no. 2: B.tox is a poison!
There is a grain of truth in this assertion. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the correct medical nomenclature. In massive quantities it may relax muscles that you do not want relaxed or can even cause sickness.

But to help us grasp the bigger picture: an old chemist’s saying states that ‘everything is a poison - it all depends on the dose’. Every medicinal drug can make someone really ill in large enough dosages. If you drink too much water you will die.

Mistake no. 3: Wrinkle injections hurt!
At Star Cosmetic Medicine the physician utilises needles smaller than human hair. Some people liken the injections to a mosquito bite. Definitely not painful compared to having a blood profile.

Mistake no. 4: My face will lose feeling!
Not true. B.tox acts on the junction between the nerve and the facial muscle, not the nerves of sensation. Just the ability to relax your muscles is impacted by B.tox.

Mistake no. 5. You cannot stop having B.tox or you will have even worse fine lines and wrinkles than ever!
Again this is simply incorrect.

You can expect B.tox to last for upwards of three months. Any treatments after the first one commonly last a little longer. The lines will gradually re-emerge as the muscle recovers its normal function. Even So your wrinkles certainly won’t be deeper than when you started your treatment.

As A Matter Of Fact the wrinkles will generally be softer than if you had never undergone B.tox injections - even if you never persevere with the injections. Primarily due to the fact that your facial muscles and skin have had a rest during the therapy.
