Many
people possess misconceptions and misperceptions towards the usage of
BTA in the field of aesthetic. The most common myths are as follows:
Myth
1: BTA freezes facial expression
BTA
would not cause frozen looks if it is given by a trained and
experienced professional. Instead, it helps develop soft, elegant and
natural looks. Unwanted negative results are caused by overdose, or
having BTA mistakenly injected into non-targeted muscles by a
disqualified personnel, or by layman terms, “fake doctors”.
Myth
2: BTA is harmful
BTA
is in fact very safe and is approved by the Food and Drug
Administration of the United States for cosmetic use to reduce
wrinkles. The manufacturing process of BTA is very
Stringent,
and the amount of BTA used for medical and aesthetic treatments is
very little. It is only harmful if one has consumed the Botulinum
toxin produced by bacteria Clostridium Botulinum in the form of food.
Such toxin is also the culprit that causes food poisoning.
Myth
3: You will get “addicted” once you start receiving BTA injection
BTA
does not result in dependence and ‘addiction”. You can opt to
discontinue the injection anytime you want, without worrying about
the deterioration of wrinkle conditions. Wrinkles that reappear when
the effect of BTA wears off look exactly like what they were before
treatment.
Myth
4: BTA is only for females, especially the elderly
BTA
could be given to young ladies who are in their 30’s, or even 20’s,
that wish to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent deeper
wrinkles from settling in as they grow older. Nowadays, gentlemen
also receive BTA therapy as people are becoming more beauty
conscious. Everyone, regardless of age and gender, is keen to
maintain youthful look.
Many
people possess misconceptions and misperceptions towards the usage of
BTA in the field of aesthetic. The most common myths are as follows:
Having
the myths debunked, we would also like to assure you that the BTA
injection involves the use of a sharp fine needle, which only gives
you a mild pricking sensation during the procedure. While it has
minimal or no down time after treatment, you can receive BTA
injection during lunch hour, and get back to work immediately after
that.
