Botox and Dysport in Regina
We carry Health Canada-approved neuromodulators: Botox, Dysport and Nuceiva. All three are $10 per unit, plus GST.
Injections are given by our nurse practitioner and our registered nurse injectors, and your first visit is a free consultation.
THE CONCERN
What Causes Forehead Lines, Frown Lines and Crow’s Feet?
Dynamic lines come from the same muscle movements made over and over. With time, they can stay visible even when your face is at rest. Three areas clients often ask about are the forehead, the frown lines between the brows (the glabella) and the crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.
If you’re also noticing early signs of aging and volume loss, bring it up at your consultation.
Pricing
How Much Does Botox Cost in Regina?
Botox, Dysport and Nuceiva are $10 per unit at The Kate Clinic, plus GST. We price by the unit rather than by the area, so you pay only for the units you need. At $10 a unit, 20 units comes to $200 plus GST.
Your number of units depends on your muscle strength, the size of the area and your history with injectables. Because every face moves differently, we set it at an in-person consultation rather than over the phone, and you get a firm quote before anything is injected. The consultation is free, and a follow-up assessment is part of your plan.
THE CLINICAL SOLUTION
How Neuromodulators Work
A neuromodulator temporarily interrupts the signal between a nerve and the facial muscle it controls. With less movement in that muscle, the skin over it can look smoother. Results vary from person to person.
For overall facial balance, your injector may also talk with you about dermal fillers at your assessment.
We also use neuromodulators for jaw tension from TMJ and bruxism, which has its own page.
THE PROCESS
What to Expect at Your Neuromodulator Appointment
If you’re new to us, you start with a consultation: we go over your medical history, look at how your face moves and talk through what you’d like to change.
Consultation
A review of your medical history and your goals.
Preparation
The injection sites are mapped and the skin is cleansed.
Injection
We use ultra-fine needles, and the injections are quick.
Aftercare
You leave with instructions for the first 24 hours.
The appointment itself is short: 30 minutes for a new client and 15 for a returning one. Most clients go straight back to their day.
TREATMENT FOCUS
What Is a Lip Flip, and How Is It Different from Lip Filler?
A lip flip and lip filler get mixed up all the time, but they’re two different treatments.
Lip filler adds volume. Lip filler is a hyaluronic acid gel injected into the lips to add size, structure and shape.
A lip flip relaxes a muscle. It adds no volume. Injections of a neuromodulator relax the muscle around your mouth, so your top lip can roll slightly outward instead of curling in.
That can give the look of a fuller upper lip when you smile, with nothing added to the lip itself. It’s a quick appointment, and some clients choose it to show less gum when they smile.
Cosmetic Treatment Areas
Beyond forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet, neuromodulators can be used in these areas:
Bunny Lines
Can soften the diagonal lines across the bridge of your nose when you scrunch your face.
Brow Lift
Relaxes the muscles that pull the brows down, for a subtle lift.
Lip Flip
Relaxes the muscle above the upper lip so it rolls slightly outward, without filler.
Gummy Smile
Lowers the upper lip slightly, so less gum shows when you smile.
Jaw and Masseter Slimming
Relaxes the masseter muscles at the back of the jaw for a softer, slimmer lower face.
Neck Bands
Can soften the vertical platysma bands in the neck.
Chin Dimpling
Relaxes the mentalis muscle to smooth a pebbled, “orange peel” chin.

Common Questions About Neuromodulators
Most clients notice the first softening within 3 to 5 days, with the full effect at about 14 days. Results generally last three to four months, depending on your metabolism and muscle mass.
We use ultra-fine needles, and the injections are quick and well tolerated.
There’s no required downtime. For 24 hours afterward, avoid strenuous exercise, lying flat and a lot of heat.
For the first four hours after your appointment, stay upright and avoid lying flat, bending over deeply or rubbing your face. It keeps the product where it was injected, so it doesn’t move to muscles it wasn’t meant for.
It varies from person to person, with your muscle structure, how deep the lines are and the result you’re after. We set your number at your consultation.
Neuromodulators work on lines caused by muscle movement, by temporarily relaxing the muscle. Dermal fillers restore lost volume and add structural support. We often combine the two.
There’s no set age. Many clients start when lines begin to stay visible with the face at rest.
Temporary reactions can happen where you were injected: mild redness, minor swelling or bruising. We go through the risks and your aftercare at your consultation.
