Christine Yanikian

Christine Yanikian works as a master injector at Aspire Aesthetics and is a registered nurse in California. Her nursing path began 23 years ago in neurosurgical intensive care, trauma and pediatric units. Soon after, she moved into aesthetic medicine, which has been her main focus for the past 18 years.

She has held Director of Nursing roles at several medical and cosmetic practices. She holds the certified aesthetics consultant (CAC) credential in California, and holds more than 50 certifications. Each year she takes part in several training sessions covering neuromodulators, dermal fillers, lasers and skincare.

Her specialties are Botox, dermal fillers, Sculptra, Kybella, microneedling and PDO threads. She also offers PDO thread lifts and VI chemical peels. For a thread lift, she inserts either barbed or non-barbed threads and moves them to tighten facial skin, following the practice's safety and sanitation protocols. She welcomes women and men from all backgrounds and will suggest more affordable alternatives when they suit a patient.
