subject: Beware Bad Botox And Unlicensed Practitioners [print this page] Botox Cosmetic is the most popular cosmetic treatment in the world today. It is no surprise then that there are some people that would take advantage of this fact and try to make money off of unsuspecting and naive people who wish to be patients. Here are just a few signs of how to spot the crooks in the room.
1. The price is just too good to be true. This is a truism, axiom or both for many things but none more so than in this particular situation. Botox is an expensive medicine to purchase from the only company in the world who makes it (Allergan) and as a result, the treatment itself is expensive, especially if you are going to see a physician who is highly experienced such as Dr. Crippen. He has been performing Botox injections over ten years now. This is the type of person you would want to see for treatment, someone with a lot of experience and training in not only the basic techniques, but also advanced injection methods. Basically, you get what you pay for.
2. The office can only book you on certain days of the month, or once a month. This tells you that whomever is injecting only comes around once in awhile. Good luck if something bad happens in this situation, there will be no-one to talk to or get advice from, you will be on your own.
3. The location does a lot of cheap-looking advertising. Again, you are getting what you pay for and if their ads are not professional looking, you are not going to get any better treatment as a patient.
4. The "physician" or injector appear unprofessional and poorly dressed in the treatment room. If they think so little about their own appearance, why would you trust yours to them? A Botox Cosmetic professional would understand that their appearance and demeanor is an important part of the interaction, why would you settle for less when it comes to your health.
These are just a few tips to look for, I hope this helps you figure out where you should have your next, or first, Botox Cosmetic Treatment. Looking for Botox in Kelowna? View Dr. Crippen's website below.
