B.tox is now ingrained in Sydney society and has become a beauty routine essential for some people in the Harbour City.

But I am always amazed when I hear the variety of myths that surround the procedure.

I have included below some of the falsehoods often encountered at Star Cosmetic Medicine in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Misunderstanding Number 1: I may not be able to use my facial muscles normally!

There are 60 or so muscles in the human face. The extensive use of these muscles may cause wrinkles to appear. If an excess of B.tox is used facial muscles can occasionally become a little less taut. Most doctors would use relatively minute dosages to result in you seeming ‘refreshed’, nevertheless you will maintain your natural expression.

Thus by employing the appropriate quantity of the toxin in just the right areas one can get a reduction in any lines without any reduction in facial expression.

Misunderstanding Number 2: B.tox is toxic!
This to a small extent is true. Its medical term is Botulinum Toxin Type A. Too large a dose can end up in a decrease in muscle tone or may even make you extremely ill.

However to help us understand the reality of the situation – an old pharmacy saying states that ‘everything is a poison – it all depends on the dose’. A large quantity of any medicine will result in sickness. If you drink too great a quantity of water it can result in death.

Misunderstanding Number 3: B.tox will be painful!
In our clinic Star Cosmetic Medicine the doctor will use needles finer than hair. Several individuals have likened the shots to mosquito bites. Certainly not as painful as getting a vaccination.

Misunderstanding Number 4: I will lose feeling in my face!
False. B.tox works on the neuromuscular junction, and not on sensate nerves. Just the ability to relax your muscles is affected by B.tox injections.

Misunderstanding Number 5. Once you begin getting B.tox you must continue otherwise you will develop worse wrinkles than before!
This is also untrue.

A B.tox treatment will last approximately three months. Any treatments after the initial one should last a few weeks more. The lines will eventually re-emerge as the muscle returns to normal. However your lines won’t be deeper than before the treatment began.

Even if you never had B.tox treatments again – those lines will probably be a little smoother than if you had never been treated. This, of course is typically so because your skin has had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ during the therapy.
