There are many great life experiences, memories, and moments of wisdom that come with getting older, but physical signs of aging aren't exactly one of the perks. While some people choose to accept the natural and unavoidable aging process, there are those of us who like to take facial anti-aging matters into our own hands and take control of how we look and feel. The best place to start is to learn about how our face changes over time and how anti-aging treatments can either prevent our most common concerns or turn back the clock to restore your face to a more youthful, glowing, and rejuvenated state.
How the Face Ages
With every passing birthday, we see changes in our face as the signs of aging begin to creep in. It begins subtly in our younger years with fine lines, changes in skin texture, and facial volume loss, then progresses to more pronounced wrinkles and more significant, noticeable changes as the years go by. The most common ways that the face ages include:
- Wrinkles
- Volume loss
- Skin laxity
- Hyperpigmentation
Thanks to the latest advancements in medical technologies, there are many options for effectively preventing or reversing these signs of aging, and 8 West Cosmetic Surgery & Skin Clinic is your team of Vancouver anti-aging specialists. Understanding anatomy and how the face ages is key, and as a team of experts that includes one of North America's most acclaimed facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Thomas Buonassisi, this is where we excel. From non-invasive subtle treatments with short downtimes to surgical procedures with dramatic improvements, we offer the full spectrum of gold standard options for combatting the signs of aging so you can look as young and vibrant as you feel.

Anti-Aging Treatments: Preventing the Signs
What are the first signs of aging? Starting in the late 20s and early 30s, we begin to see some subtle, yet common, changes to our face, such as:
- Fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation from years of sun exposure
- Skin texture that's not as dewy or as ''bouncy'' as once was
These early years are a great time to tackle the signs of aging and prevent them from developing further, giving you a chance to enjoy a facial appearance that looks as youthful as you are. Fortunately, there are many options available to treat your specific skin concerns, many of which have little to no downtime and are easy to maintain.

Anti-Aging Treatments: Reversing the Signs
What are the best anti-aging treatments? If you're asking this question, you're not alone. With so many choices available, it can be hard to cut through all the media noise about quick-fixes and celebrity makeovers to learn what options are best suited for you. As we progress into our 40s and beyond, the once-subtle signs of aging like fine lines and mild hyperpigmentation turn into more significant concerns, including:
- Deeper wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth
- Sagging or drooping skin around the jawline
- Skin that feels thin and crepey
- Age spots
- Loss of volume and hollowed areas around the temples
The great news is that it's not too late to take charge of your appearance and turn back the clock for a more radiant, youthful appearance that will give you a boost of confidence and results that are dramatic yet natural.If you want to significantly reverse the signs of aging, surgical procedures are the only way to remove sagging skin and tighten the face once the signs of aging have taken effect. Some of our most popular anti-aging surgeries include:
If the texture of your aging skin is also bothersome, laser resurfacing treatments can greatly improve its quality and texture, with little downtime. Many older patients choose laser treatments to complement facial cosmetic surgery. Not sure which option or combination of treatments are right for you? Our 360 x 4D approach means that we look beyond the surface of the skin and assess each patient's facial structure, including the bones and muscles. This allows us to create a comprehensive treatment plan, designed specifically for your individual needs and anti-aging goals.
