FAQ
What is an Advanced Injector?
At Face First Regina, our standard of care is higher than the industry norm. Every one of our nurse injectors is an Advanced Injector, meaning they have moved beyond basic certification into high-level facial mapping and advanced injection techniques. Our entire clinical team is personally guided and mentored by Chrisinda Tkatch, ensuring that our ‘Master Injector’ safety protocols and artistic standards are applied to every single treatment.
What should I look for in an injector in Regina?
Finding the right fit is so important. At Face First Regina, we believe you should look for a provider who prioritizes your goals. Our clinic is led by Chrisinda Tkatch, who brings a ‘Master Injector’ perspective to our team through her dedication to elite global training. We focus on natural aesthetic techniques—meaning we study your unique anatomy to ensure you leave looking refreshed and like yourself.
I‘m nervous about looking ’fake.’ How do your Advanced Injectors prevent this?
Our ‘Subtle Standard’ is what sets us apart. Our Advanced Injectors focus on anatomical restoration. We study your unique facial structure to replace what time has taken, rather than adding what was never there. This ensures you look like a refreshed version of yourself, never ‘overfilled’ or ‘frozen’.
Who oversees the safety standards at Face First Regina?
Our clinic is built on a foundation of safety. Every treatment is performed by Advanced Nurse Injectors with extensive nursing experience and is overseen by our Medical Director & Nurse Practitioner. Before your first consultation, a Nurse Practitioner will personally contact you to review your medical history and ensure you are appropriate to receive any treatments. This layer of oversight, paired with ongoing medical direction throughout your care, is why we are considered the gold standard for safe aesthetics in Regina.
What is Sculptra and is it better than traditional filler?
Sculptra is a biostimulator that helps your body regrow its own collagen over time. Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra is for the Regina patient looking for a discreet, gradual lift. It is the gold standard for long-term skin tightening and natural-looking volume.
Does Face First offer natural lip restoration in Regina?
Yes. We specialize in ‘Natural Lip Restoration’ rather than just ‘Lip Injections.’ Our Advanced Injectors use premium hyaluronic acid fillers and precise techniques to hydrate and define the lips while maintaining a balanced, proportional look that respects your natural anatomy.
Can Microneedling help with my skin texture or acne scars?
Absolutely. We use the SkinPen Precision Elite, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. It is highly effective for patients in Saskatchewan looking to treat acne scarring, fine lines, and overall skin texture by stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
How do I protect my skin during the dry Regina winters?
Our climate is harsh on skin. We recommend a combination of medical-grade skincare and SkinBoosters (like Redensity 1) to provide deep, injectable hydration that topical creams can’t reach, keeping your skin radiant even in -40°C weather.
Do I need a consultation if I’ve had Botox or filler elsewhere?
Yes. Because our Advanced Nurse Injectors prioritize safety and anatomical precision, every new patient at our Regina clinic undergoes a full medical consultation. This allows us to review your history, assess your current filler, and discuss your goals so your treatment plan feels personalized and safe from the very first visit.
What activities should I avoid prior to and after treatment?
Prior to an aesthetics injection treatment, try and avoid painkillers (except Tyenol), fish oils, and Vitamin E which tend to thin the blood and may increase the chance of bruising. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to the treatment.
You can go on with your day as usual following any of the treatments, but we encourage you to not do any strenuous activity, hot tub or sauna for 24 hours post treatment. Avoid a facial procedure and a massage lying on your face for at least 10-14 days following neurotoxin injections. It is best not to plan a treatment prior to a big event like a wedding or family pictures. We recommend waiting at least 2-3 weeks after a procedure, in case of a bruising or swelling.
What is the Face First Standard Offer?
Consistency is the key to natural aging. To reward patients who prioritize their maintenance, we offer a Standard Offer rate of $9 per unit (compared to our $10 standard) for those who book their neurotoxin refresh every 3-4 months. It ensures you never have a ‘heavy’ or ‘worn-off’ look!
Do you have a referral program for your Regina patients?
Yes! When you refer a friend to Face First, both you and your friend receive a $20 credit toward your next treatment. We believe the best compliment you can give us is a referral to your community.
Where is the clinic located and where should I park?
Face First is located at 1916 Dewdney Ave in Regina’s historic Warehouse District. We are proud to be part of this vibrant local community and offer convenient, free street parking (no street parking between 4:00pm – 6:00pm) directly in front of our clinic for all patients!
We also have client parking available on the side of our building as well as more street parking on Rose St..
What is the best laser for sun spots and melasma in Regina?
The NOUVAderm™ 1927nm Thulium Laser is currently the gold standard for treating stubborn pigmentation, sun damage, and melasma in Regina. Unlike traditional IPL, which uses light, NOUVAderm is a fractional laser that goes deeper into the skin to physically resurface texture and lift pigment with more consistency and less downtime.
How does NOUVAderm laser resurfacing compare to IPL?
While IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is effective for surface-level redness, NOUVAderm laser resurfacing offers a more advanced, medical-grade approach. It creates microscopic treatment zones to trigger deep collagen remodeling. This makes it superior for treating deep-seated brown spots, acne scars, and fine lines that traditional “photo facials” often cannot reach.
What is the downtime for NOUVAderm laser treatments?
Downtime is customizable based on the treatment tier. NOUVAderm Light (the “Weekend Glow”) typically results in 0–2 days of a “sandpaper” skin texture that is easily covered by makeup. More intensive treatments like NOUVAderm Max for deep wrinkles and scarring may require a few additional days of healing, but offer more dramatic skin transformation.
Can laser skin resurfacing be used on the body?
Yes. At Face First Medical Aesthetics, we use NOUVAderm technology to treat sun damage on the hands and arms, as well as for advanced scar revision and skin tightening on the abdomen or legs. Our medical aestheticians, Christina, Jada and Shawna, customize every pulse to ensure safe results on both the face and body.
