In Ontario, healthcare professionals that are authorized to perform the controlled acts of “administering a substance by injection” and “performing procedures below the dermis” have the capability of receiving certification in various non-surgical medical aesthetic treatments.
They can operate and own an aesthetics clinic, but some providers require a clinical director (a licensed Nurse Practitioner or Physician) in order to operate.
Our nurse practitioner, Tyler, provides comprehensive medical directives and clinical oversight for a wide range of medical aesthetic services to both independent injectors and small to large scale clinics
Consultations for new and existing patients.
Assistance with treating adverse events related to treatments.
Consent forms, health questionnaires and documentation forms
Providing prescriptions for clinic and patient needs.
Guidance with the clinic “start-up” process.
Assistance with obtaining clinic products in a cost-effective manner.
Comprehensive training for new learning needs with access to hands-on guidance at your own pace.

Access to electronic medical record for privacy-compliant documentation
Whether you are a new or seasoned injector, our Clinical Director will work with you to find the right balance of clinical supervision and involvement in your clinic and professional development, so that all parties can feel comfortable with the injector-director relationship.
The Consultation Process:
Our nurse practitioner will:
Review the patient's medical history with the injector
Determine if the proposed treatment plan is appropriate and/or work with the injector to determine a treatment plan that is safe and appropriate for the patient, if able.
Provide authorization for medical directives and/or direct orders in the patient's chart for treatment.
Answer any questions the patient may have about their treatment.
Provide appropriate adjunct prescriptions that the patient may need for their treatment
Be available for support with questions and/or adverse events
After the consultation with the nurse practitioner, more often medical directives are authorized for use on that patient for one year unless there is a change in treatment needs and/or medical status. Some exceptions apply.
Direct orders are sometimes used and are ordered for a duration that is dependent on individual patient needs.
