Be sure to learn more about why to choose 8 West Clinic. In a nutshell, we are a family operated clinic (founded by Dr. Buonassisi and his wife Angie), with a long history of success and the most professional, passionate and skilled treatment providers in the province. To top it off, we invest in the most modern and highly effective medical devices and provide continual advanced training to our team of experts – to ensure they are the best at what they do.

Medical Spa Services

From skin rejuvenation (non surgical ways to keep your skin younger for longer) to laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, Dual Coolsculpting and more – we offer medical grade treatments and consult in a thorough and ethical way. We manage your expectations so that you know what to expect and provide stellar follow up care. If what you hope to achieve isn’t possible with non surgical medical spa treatments (with modern day advancements, so much CAN be achieved without surgery, but there are still things that CAN NOT) we will refer you to consult with our very own Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Thomas Buonassisi for rhinoplastyfacelift or eyelid lift surgery. We would love to meet you and encourage you to begin your journey by scheduling a complimentary consultation.

Dual Coolsculpting

With two of these incredible machines, we can reduce treatment times dramatically. Coolsculpting is the only FDA approved device that non surgically freezes fat away. Your medical aesthetician will discuss your goals during your complementary consultation and recommend if this treatment is right for you. If you are at a healthy weight and have pockets of stubborn fat, this just might be the treatment for you.

IPL Laser, BBL Photofacial

Although IPL lasers are used for photofacials, not all machines are created equal and our device is beyond compare. Nothing like what you will find in your spa aesthetician or hair stylist’s basement, the Sciton BBL is the most powerful and advanced device on the market. In the hands of our highly skilled medical aestheticians, this device can be used to clear reds and brows (with a treatment called BBL Photofacial) or visibly combat skin aging with the BBL Forever Young.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular medical spa treatments available because it has no downtime, is relatively inexpensive and provides a quick glow to the skin. Patients looking for a more dramatic result will consider treatments that penetrate deeper into the skin such as the ground breaking new treatment Halo Hybrid Fractionated Laser Resurfacing (the only device on the market that combines ablative and non ablative laser wavelengths in one treatment). In consultation, your medical aesthetician will help uncover your goals and objectives, and recommend the treatment that will get the results you looking for.

Botox, Dysport & Dermal Fillers

Injections of neuromodulators (common brands include Botox and Dysport) and dermal fillers (Restylane, Emervel, and others) are a wonderful way to take years of the face, or make it look more defined and pretty.

Botox & Dysport treat dynamic wrinkles (those that form when we smile or frown) while dermal fillers treat facial volume loss, something that happens to each and every one of us starting at about age 35. Dermal fillers are wonderful as a non surgical lip augmentation technique, to subtly shape the cheeks or chin, or to camouflage folds, wrinkles and shadows.

Laser Skin Tightening

As we age, collagen production slows down and our skin becomes less tight, a little crepe-y and thinner. Skin tightening is a wonderful non surgical way to tighten the skin. With no down time, this treatment is great as a maintenance strategy to slow down skin aging.

Sexual Health & Laser Vaginal Therapy

Confidence is key when it comes to sexual healthy. Vaginal dryness, discomfort during sex or feeling self conscious about long or asymmetric labia can really affect one’s mood. We offer comprehensive sexual health consultations to help women deal with the side effects of pregnancy, childbirth and menopause, including Diva Laser Vaginal Therapy & labiaplasty (a surgical way to reshape labia).
