Can you offer injectables without owning a clinic? Here’s how
Injectable treatments like Botox®, dermal fillers, PRP are in high demand—and many certified professionals are eager to get started in this fast-growing field. But one question often comes up: Do I need to own a clinic to perform injectables?
The good news is — you don’t! There are several flexible ways to offer injectable services without investing in your own medical spa or clinic space.
✔️ 1. Work Under a Medical Director
In Canada, only certain regulated professionals (such as nurses, nurse practitioners, and doctors) can legally administer injectables. If you’re a licensed injector, you can operate under a medical director who provides oversight and prescriptions. Many aesthetic professionals partner with existing clinics or contract medical directors to meet regulatory requirements.
✔️ 2. Rent a Room or Chair in a Med Spa
Many injectors choose to rent a treatment room in an established clinic or med spa. This allows you to use their licensed space and equipment while building your own clientele. It's an affordable and low-risk alternative to opening a full clinic, with the benefit of shared foot traffic and marketing.
✔️ 3. Offer Mobile Injectable Services
Mobile aesthetic services are on the rise, especially for Botox parties, bridal prep, or luxury in-home treatments. As long as you work under proper medical direction and follow health and safety regulations, mobile injectables can be a convenient option for clients and a profitable one for you.
✔️ 4. Join an Established Team
Another path is to join a team at a medical spa or dermatology clinic. This gives you experience, mentorship, and a consistent client base without the pressure of running a business on your own.
