How Do I Choose the Right Provider? What Sets Faces DermaMedical Apart

Faces DermaMedical • January 14, 2026

Choosing a medical aesthetics provider can feel overwhelming, especially with so many clinics offering similar services across Arnprior and Ottawa, ON. As we enter the heart of winter, when dry air and colder temperatures can take a toll on our skin, it’s more important than ever to trust your complexion to experienced professionals. 


How do you know which provider is right for your facial rejuvenation needs? At Faces DermaMedical, our team offers clinical expertise, advanced technology, and a personalized approach that truly puts your skin—and confidence—first.


Why Experience Matters in Medical Aesthetics


When searching for injectables, microneedling, or cutting-edge laser treatments, credentials should be your top priority. Winter often brings increased demand for non-surgical procedures to boost skin health and radiance before spring. 

At Faces DermaMedical, we pride ourselves on decades of experience:


  • Bonnie Craig, founder and Medical Aesthetician, brings over 28 years of expertise.
  • Master Cosmetic Injection Specialist Sheila Mackay has collaborated with Bonnie for more than 20 years.
  • Dr. Elisabeth Antoniak, our respected medical director, has overseen treatments since 2017.


Our seasoned team combines the practical know-how needed for safe, natural-looking results with a commitment to the latest advances. We regularly attend industry conferences to ensure our knowledge reflects the most effective evidence-based techniques.


What Sets Faces DermaMedical Apart in Ottawa and Arnprior?


Not all medispas or clinics in Ottawa or Arnprior offer the same level of care. Here’s what makes Faces DermaMedical truly unique:


1. Cutting-Edge, Non-Surgical Innovations


We specialize in providing tried-and-tested, minimally invasive treatments. From precision-targeted Botox and Dysport to Stylage Dermal Fillers and PRP for skin and hair rejuvenation, every service is delivered with artistry and symmetry in mind. And for those wanting more than injections, we offer skin-transforming modalities like:


  • Morpheus8 microneedling with radiofrequency for collagen renewal
  • Lumecca IPL photorejuvenation to target sun damage and redness, especially common after holiday festivities
  • Clear & Brilliant Laser and Hydrafacial for year-round skin maintenance.


2. Tailored Solutions Backed by VISIA Analysis


A question clients often ask is, “How do I know which treatment is right for my skin?” Our approach begins with the advanced VISIA Complexion Analysis. This in-depth diagnostic tool helps us personalize your care based on your unique skin’s needs—ensuring the best results every time.


Winter Treatments Designed for Ottawa-Area Clients


Many clients wonder, “What’s the best time of year for cosmetic treatments?” The answer: right now! Winter is the ideal time for procedures such as chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and light therapies since you’re less exposed to harmful UV rays. Post-holiday months also mean less social pressure to look instantly refreshed, giving your skin time to heal and glow by spring.


What to Look for in a Medical Aesthetic Clinic


Consider the following to ensure exceptional outcomes and peace of mind:


- Credentials and Experience: Are treatments performed or supervised by licensed, reputable providers?

- Advanced Technology: Does the clinic invest in evidence-based devices and products?

- Personalized Consultations: Do staff listen, educate, and customize plans based on your needs?

- Safety and Hygiene: Are safety protocols and aftercare clearly explained?

- Local Reputation: Does the business have strong local reviews and a history of patient satisfaction?


Faces DermaMedical consistently ranks high in patient trust, thanks to transparency, follow-through, and lasting results.
