Mistake # 1: I won’t be able to use my facial muscles normally!
Research has found there are sixty or so muscles in the human face. The excessive use of these muscles over a period of time can result in wrinkle formation. When too much Botox is employed the muscles of expression can become less expressive. The dose injected by almost all physicians are calculated to make you look less tired, nevertheless you will always keep your facial expression.
By using tiny amounts of the preparation in just the right areas facial expression is preserved whilst the fine lines undergo a softening effect.
Mistake # 2: Botox is poisonous!
Actually there is some truth in this. Its medical term is Botulinum Toxin Type A. In large doses it can result in loss of muscle tone and may even cause sickness.
However to put things into perspective - a well-known pharmacist’s expression states that ‘everything is a poison - all depending on the dose’. A large quantity of any medicine can bring on sickness. Even water can kill you if enough is taken.
Mistake # 3: Botox will sting!
The hypodermic needles used at Star Cosmetic Medicine have a diameter less than your hair. Some individuals compare the treatments to mosquito bites. Definitely not as bad as getting a vaccination.
Mistake # 4: I might lose feeling in my face!
False. Botulinum medicine works principally on the neuromuscular junction, and not on sensate nerves. Botox just targets the ability to relax muscles.
Mistake # 5. You can’t stop having Botox or you will get worse wrinkles than ever!
This is also untrue.
You can expect the treatment to last for upwards of 3 months. Any further injections after the first consultation normally last a few weeks longer. Gradually as muscle strength returns to normal - the lines will reappear little by little. But they definitely will not be any deeper than when you started your Botox therapy.
In fact the wrinkles will more often than not be softer than if you had never undergone Botox injections - even if you don’t repeat the treatment. Due to the fact that your facial muscles and skin have had a ‘wrinkle holiday’ during the treatment.
