Here are some commonly asked questions, to help prepare you for your treatment: 

• Does it hurt?  Botox is administered by injecting facial muscles using very small needles.  Some northerners say the needle poke feels like a little mosquito bite, but without the itching and swelling
• I am interested, but I don’t want to look “frozen”  Dr. Krushel reduces wrinkles and fine lines while leaving natural expressions intact, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.  Botox does not increase the volume of the face and does not cause plumping or filling effects. 
• How long does Botox last?  Typically, 3 to 4 months.  However, this depends very much on one’s metabolism and the strength and activity of one’s muscles. 
• What is the cost?  Dr. Krushel prides himself on placing every unit of Botox in the most effective locations, to ensure that clients get the desired effect in the most cost-effective way.  Sessions typically range from 15 – 60 units, dependent on number of areas you are looking to have treated. 

There is a minimum $100 appointment charge and a strict 48 cancellation policy in place, as Dr.Krushel arrives from out of town for his clinics.  No shows and appointments that are not cancelled prior to the 48 hour period will incur the minimum appointment fee.  A valid credit card is required to reserve an appointment time.  Please be aware that botox clinics operate independently and Spa 901 gift cards cannot be used for payment, nor discounts or promotions applied.

You will begin to feel and see some changes in approximately 2-4 days, following a treatment, with the full effect occurring in two weeks. We strive to create results that make the treatment area appear smoother, with reduced facial lines and wrinkles, while continuing to appear natural.

• For 1 Hour: Exercise the treatment muscles by frowning, raising your eyebrows, and smiling. 
• For 3 Hours: Ideally, remain upright and do not rub or compress the treated areas.  We recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity, hot tubs, saunas, facials, alcohol, and aspirin/anti-inflammatories for least several hours.

You must be over the age of 19 to receive Botox or neuromodulators.

You should not receive Botox or other neuromodulators if you have any of the following contraindications: 

• Allergy to BOTOX or Dysport.
• Pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are currently breastfeeding.
• Severe allergy to eggs or milk (this can be reviewed with Dr. Krushel before, or at time of appointment).
• Some progressive and severe neurological diseases (i.e. myasthenia gravis).

 Possible side effects include:

• Redness and swelling, bruising and discolouration, itching, and pain and tenderness at the injection sites, which could last for several days.
• Rare side effects include ptosis (eyelid drooping), which may last for several weeks.
