Have you ever wondered why clinics advertise “muscle relaxing injections” and “antiwrinkle injections” rather than specifying the actual product name (e.g., Botox) It’s because the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has imposed a legal restriction which disallows the advertising of schedule 4 drugs. As it turns out, the active ingredient Botulinum Neurotoxin A in antiwrinkle injections is classified as a schedge 4 drug. Unfortunately, this advertising restriction can make it difficult for consumers to do price comparison shopping because the product that one clinic is using may not be the same as the one a competitor is using so the prices are not comparable. And since the product names cannot be advertised it falls an the consumer to make the inquiry.
Nita is not a fan of using vague generalised words to describe botulinum type A injections as it does nothing to educate the consumer and pricing cannot be fairly compared. Furthermore, the product Units, which is how most pricing is based, are not necessarily equal across brands which confuses the consumer even more.
Briefly,antiwrinkle injections relax muscles. Dynamic lines are formed by repetitive facial muscle movements. Antiwrinkle injections can reduce the appearance of dynamic lines. However, static lines, such as sleep lines and ageing skin can not be treated with botulinum toxin A based injections but can be treated with fillers.
Muscle relaxing injections performed by a skilled injector will minimise undesirable side effects, such as droopy eyebrows, dropped cheeks and crows feet.

Nita’s reconstitutes the powder in the vial with the manufacturers recommended 2.5 ml saline dose which gives the optimum results. She is fully trained with all 3 TGA approved brands of botulinum neurotoxin A that is available on the Australian market.
Some people build up a resistance to one brand so switching brands often solves the problem.
