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.
our team
Dr. Morison qualified in medicine in London, UK in 1976 and proceeded to do his residency which included 2 years in family practice and another 2 years of internal medicine at the U of A hospital in Edmonton, AB. He completed 6 months of specialized training in dermatology and plastic surgery. Ever since, he has been performing in office surgical procedures since 1977; over the years he worked in the emergency department at the U of A and alongside having his family practice clinic. He proceeded to obtain training in cosmetic injections & laser therapy which led him to open his own cosmetic practice back in the early 2000's.
But wait! He didn't stop there he joined the phlebology association of Canada and started treating varicose veins and expanded his practice to include this offering. Dr. Morison has 4 grown children and 5 grandchildren, his passions outside of work include sailing, cycling, exercising and relaxing at his destination cottage in Sundre, Alberta.

MD CCFP
With 14 years of experience, Charnelle has adored this industry since she was a little girl. In 2009, she graduated from EIE Medispa & Laser Training Centre with an honors diploma. She joined the CMC team in 2010.
When not at the clinic, she pursued her passion for education as an esthetics instructor at the same school she graduated from. Her passion for education also led her to complete a Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training in 2016. In 2020, she became a Reiki Practitioner and this opened the door to then becoming a certified Natural Wellness Specialist (Aromatherapy, Crystal and Chakra wellness). Most recently she got certified in the Ju-ene Facial Massage technique known as the Natural Face Lift earlier this year. Her favourite service to perform is ANY type of facial as she is often referred to as “The Facial Queen”. Her favourite treatment to receive is the NEW MicroTox Facial and Oxygeneo.
When she isn't busy pampering you in the treatment room you can find her on outdoor family adventures with her husband and two children. Her 10 year old daughter is quite possibly an “esthetician in the making” as she loves doing multi-step skin care routines with her mama.
