Karen first learned about BOTOX® when she was a nursing student at the University of Saskatchewan. She was curious about this medical treatment and used the hospital library to research the benefits of BOTOX® long before BOTOX® was a household name and popular treatment.

It taught her the importance of understanding medications, proper therapeutic dosing, and anatomy which are critical components when trying to achieve the best and safest results.
