At 8 West Cosmetic Surgery & Skin Clinic, we see Dermal Fillers as an art, and whether it’s Lips, Cheeks, Chin, Tear Troughs, Jawline or Nose, we are committed to working with you to help achieve your aesthetic goals through expert knowledge and experience.
People choose dermal fillers because they want to add shape, contour and replace lost volume to certain facial areas or smooth wrinkles. Using a customized and strategic blend of dermal fillers, this can also result in what some people call a non-surgical facelift, because of the way they restore the cheeks and lips, enhance facial contour, and fill lines, with the aim result being a very natural, brighter, and vibrant appearance.
There are a few factors that go into choosing the right clinic for dermal fillers. This is your face, after all, so it’s highly recommended that you attend a practise that is overseen by an expertly trained physician for your injectable treatment.

The ways that dermal fillers are such a popular facial rejuvenation treatment option can go on and on. Some of the main reasons why dermal fillers are such a sought-after and aspiration treatment include:
Unlike Neuromodulators, which relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles to form, dermal fillers are injected to add volume, plump the face, and add definition and contour.
8 West Cosmetic Surgery & Skin Clinic uses only the highest quality injectables for your facial rejuvenation treatments. We are extremely selective with dermal filler brands, which include the Juvederm and Restylane family of products, using only those that meet the highest standards set by the FDA and Health Canada.
Some contain larger particles which are used to soften deep creases, while smaller particles are effective for eliminating fine wrinkles. Our Aesthetic Nurse Injectors are artists who expertly combine or use specific densities of filler to create the results you want. We like hyaluronic acid injections because they make the face look plump, hydrated, and can restore lost volume.
Generally speaking, there are two categories of people who will benefit from dermal fillers, patients who are noticing changes in the face due to aging and volume loss, and younger patients wanting to enhance features, like defining their jawline and cheekbones or adding lip volume.
There are many areas of the face that dermal fillers can treat, here are the most common:
After your consultation, you’ll come away with a comprehensive treatment plan that targets your areas of concern to produce your ideal results to make you look and feel your best.
At 8 West Cosmetic Surgery & Skin Clinic, you’re in the best possible hands, and our FDA-approved dermal fillers—Juvederm and Restylane.
Our experienced Aesthetic Nurse Injectors carefully administer filler injections in the precise areas you want to target and add volume to, for plumped features and smoothed skin.
This is a minimally-invasive, non-surgical treatment that doesn’t require any anesthesia, but topical numbing is available if you would prefer. Many of the FDA-approved products in Canada contain lidocaine, to subtly numb your injection areas during your treatment. For patients who are allergic to lidocaine, have this conversation with our friendly staff and treatment providers so we can accommodate your needs.
One of the reasons why dermal fillers are so popular is that the results are noticeable immediately after your injections, so you can start enjoying added volume and smoother skin right away. Some patients may experience mild bruising or swelling, which goes away after a few days and can be easily managed with an ice pack.
Treatments are quick and you can go back to work or resume your usual activities right after your appointment. Dermal filler patients can enjoy their results for about six months, meaning you’ll only need touch-ups once or twice a year to maintain your desired look.
Juvederm and Restylane fillers can be used alone, or with other facial rejuvenation treatments. A combination of treatments may be right for you, depending on your skin type, areas of concern, and your anti-aging goals. Some treatments that make an excellent complement to dermal fillers include laser resurfacing and wrinkle relaxing injections which you can learn more about during your consultation with a treatment provider.
