Our Story

The foundation of The Injectionist is rooted in entrepreneurship and long-standing exposure to business-building in Alberta. Nika Sanguellini grew up watching her father build one of Calgary’s largest renovation companies from the ground up, where business ownership and persistence were part of everyday life rather than an abstract goal. This early environment shaped a practical, execution-focused approach that would later define her work in aesthetics.

Her entry into the industry began in 2010 when her husband acquired the Laser Hair Centre. While studying communications in college, Nika joined the clinic initially in a temporary capacity. What began as a short-term role quickly became a long-term commitment as she became immersed in the clinical and client-facing side of aesthetic medicine.

Over time, the clinic evolved from a single laser-focused practice into a broader medical aesthetics business offering injectables, skin treatments, and advanced technologies. Expansion into a second location in Edmonton followed, establishing a multi-location practice that now serves patients across Alberta. Today, The Injectionist reflects this evolution as a clinic built through incremental growth, clinical expansion, and sustained demand for its approach to aesthetic care.

Meet Nika Sanguellini

Founder & CEO
"Excellence isn't a destination—it's a decision we make every single day."
Nika entered the medical aesthetics industry in 2010 with a vision of creating a clinic where exceptional results, patient safety, and continuous education would always come before trends. After becoming a Certified Medical Aesthetician in 2013, she spent years expanding her expertise and growing the practice by introducing advanced laser technologies and medical aesthetic treatments.

In 2017, Nika expanded into cosmetic injectables—but with a different philosophy than most. Rather than simply offering injections, she set out to build one of Canada's most advanced aesthetic practices. Her commitment to excellence has led her and her team to train with world-renowned physicians and industry leaders across North America, Europe, and beyond, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into advanced education to ensure patients receive the most innovative, evidence-based treatments available.

Today, Nika leads a multidisciplinary team recognized for natural-looking results, cutting-edge techniques, and an unwavering commitment to raising the standard of aesthetic medicine. Her passion for innovation continues to shape every aspect of the clinic, from developing proprietary treatment protocols to bringing the newest technologies and regenerative treatments to her patients.

"The moment you stop learning is the moment you stop leading. Our patients deserve better than that—and they always will."

Principles That Shape Our Practice

Structure first, treatment second.
Facial anatomy determines the direction of every treatment plan. Before discussing procedures, we evaluate balance, proportion, and how individual features interact as a whole. This ensures that recommendations are built around structural needs rather than isolated concerns or requested treatments.
Measured correction over immediate change.
Treatment planning is designed to create controlled, incremental change rather than immediate transformation. Small adjustments are prioritized to maintain facial integrity and avoid overcorrection. In many cases, outcomes are intentionally staged over time to preserve natural movement and expression.
Suitability determines treatment.
Not every concern is appropriate for injectable treatment. Clinical judgment includes identifying when non-surgical options will not produce a safe or meaningful outcome. In those cases, patients may be advised to delay treatment or seek surgical consultation. This decision-making standard is applied consistently across both Calgary and Edmonton clinics.
