About Us
who we are
Cosmetic Medical Clinic has been providing cosmetic skin and vein treatments since 1999 in beautiful St. Albert, Alberta.
Led by Dr. Nicholas Morison, CMC+ is a respected leader in the Medical Spa industry. We strive not only to provide the most effective treatments and procedures, but also to do so in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Our focus is on skin health and working together on a journey to meet your goals.
our history
The Cosmetic Medical Clinic was born from Dr. Morison’s keen interest in skin conditions. After establishing his family practice in 1976, he began extensive training in phlebology, first with Dr. Louis Grondin from Calgary. He later became a fellow of the Canadian Society of Phlebology.
Dr. Morison continued to pursue his interests through many additional trainings, always striving to learn the latest and most effective techniques. He opened the Cosmetic Medical Clinic and Vein Clinic in 1999, one of the first in the Edmonton area, and has since become a leader in cosmetic procedures.
Our philosophy at the Cosmetic Medical Clinic has always been to provide exceptional results in a comfortable and caring environment through a medical first approach. This means that you can rest assured that all doctors, nurses and staff members are highly qualified and trained in the newest and best technology available. A doctor is on call at all times during office hours, allowing us to provide an additional layer of patient care.
