Skin & Injectables Before & After Photos — Vancouver, BC

A treatment plan is based on your concerns, skin condition, facial anatomy, medical history, goals, and tolerance for downtime. Because the same concern may have more than one treatment option, 8 West uses a personalized, comprehensive approach rather than recommending one treatment for everyone.

Yes. Injectable, laser, light, and advanced skin treatments may be combined when they address different parts of a concern. The order and timing matter, so combination treatment should be planned by your provider rather than scheduled independently.

Suitability depends on the treatment, your health history, the condition of the treatment area, your goals, and other individual factors. A consultation or pre-assessment is needed to confirm whether a specific injectable or skin treatment is appropriate for you and to discuss alternatives when it is not.

Timing depends on the treatment. Dermal filler changes are visible immediately, although early swelling can temporarily affect the appearance. Sculptra® improvements develop gradually over several weeks as collagen is stimulated. Laser and skin-treatment results evolve as the skin heals and renews; for example, optimal HALO™ results may continue developing for approximately two to three months.

Longevity varies by treatment, product, treatment area, metabolism, skin condition, and maintenance plan. The official 8 West guidance describes dermal filler results ranging from approximately six months to two years, while Sculptra® results may last up to two years. Laser and skin-treatment longevity also depends on skincare, sun protection, lifestyle, and maintenance.

Downtime varies. Injectable treatments may involve temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or soreness but often require little interruption to normal activities. Laser and resurfacing treatments can involve more visible redness, heat, sensitivity, or peeling. Your provider will explain the expected recovery for the exact treatment and settings recommended to you.

No. Before-and-after photographs show examples of published patient outcomes, not a guaranteed or typical result for every patient. Anatomy, skin condition, treatment choice, dosage or device settings, healing, photography, and follow-up timing can all affect how a result appears.

Preparation depends on the procedure. Follow the instructions provided by your treatment team, disclose relevant health information and medications, and ask before changing any prescribed medication or skincare product. Some laser and resurfacing plans may require avoiding sun exposure, self-tanner, retinoids, or exfoliating products for a period before treatment.

Follow the treatment-specific instructions given by your provider. Sun protection is especially important after laser, light, and resurfacing procedures, and some treatments require temporary changes to makeup, exercise, heat exposure, or active skincare. Contact the clinic if you have a reaction or recovery concern that is not covered by your instructions.

Yes. Photos can help communicate the features, degree of change, and overall look you prefer or want to avoid. They are used as a discussion aid, not as a promise that another patient’s result can be reproduced exactly.

Start with a pre-assessment or consultation at 8 West Clinic. The team can review your concerns, relevant history, goals, preferred location, and tolerance for downtime, then recommend an individualized Skin & Injectables plan and explain expected costs, preparation, recovery, and maintenance.
