Did you know that 80% of Canadians will experience back tension? Pam Kats, RMT from Calgary, Alberta, explains, “As a massage therapist, I see a lot of people with back and neck tension and it often stems from their posture at a desk and computer. Our clients like the open, relaxed posture they can maintain at home with The Beam™.” Brandi G., from Vancouver, BC, shares, “I like to put my Beam™ at the back of my chair. It keeps my posture straight, which reduces tension in my shoulders. I’m so grateful for this product.”

Choose your provider carefully. Practitioners with minimal knowledge may perform Botox injections. Make sure the person injecting you is an expert in facial anatomy and aesthetic procedures, such as a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. The face has more than 40 muscles. Each plays an important role in creating facial expression. An inexperienced provider will be less familiar with the anatomy of the face, leading to possible complications and poor results. In fact, less experienced providers may end up using more volume of Botox (costing you more) to achieve the same result, simply because their application is less precise.
