How do you know you’re visiting the right office to have a Botox injection? Great question i say. Most people do not know what to look for in finding a provider who is qualified to perform injections and more importantly, will do it in a safe manner with a lot of previous experience behind them.

Step 1:

Seek a Qualified Practitioner.
Just because someone advertises they perform Botox injections in Kelowna does not mean that they are qualified to do so. Many pseudo-spa’s and clinic have non-physicians performing injections which puts your safety at risk. Make sure you have a physician perform your injection and also make sure they have the proper training. Something to look for is if they have attended the Allergan Advanced Injection Seminars held each year in either Toronto or Vancouver. Dr. Crippen attends these on a regular basis and keeps up to date with the latest trends in the industry.

Step 2:
Check Out Your Doctor’s Office

I) Look at the office. Are there fresh flowers?
II) Look at the staff. Are they happy?
III) Is your doctor an author of recent Journal articles?
IV) Do they have before and after pictures of different procedures?

These are just a few things to look for when searching for Botox treatments in the Kelowna area.
