Aesthetics

Aesthetic medicine is a branch of medicine focusing on altering and enhancing cosmetic appearance. In most cases, aesthetics uses non-surgical treatments that rejuvenate the skin and reduce signs of aging.  

At WELL Health, our aesthetic services are performed by both cosmetic dermatologists and qualified physicians, depending on the clinic. 

It’s important to note, that provincial health insurance generally does not cover cosmetic treatments, making aesthetics a private service.  

However, that also means that most of the time, no referral is needed, allowing patients to book directly at medical clinics that offer cosmetic services or with a dermatologist clinic. Some aesthetic clinics also offer specialized facial cosmetic products.  

Aesthetics can help address various cosmetic concerns and conditions, including: 

• Achieve glowing and youthful skin 
• Smooth skin & reduce fine lines 
• Reduce excessive sweating 
• Tighten skin and treat scarring 
• Treat wrinkles & rejuvenate skin 
• Remove chin fat 
• Achieve even complexion 
• Safely remove moles & skin lesions 
• Gain longer, fuller eyelashes 

In general, anyone can pursue treatments if they have cosmetic concerns and want to pursue non-invasive treatments that enhance their appearance.  

Whether you are concerned about signs of aging, scarring, or skin texture, consulting with a qualified physician or cosmetic dermatologist can help determine the most suitable treatment options for your needs and aesthetic goals.   

As a first step, many medical clinics that offer cosmetic treatments or dermatologists offer cosmetic consultations to help understand your aesthetic goals, discuss which cosmetic treatments are appropriate and potentially create a treatment plan.  

If you plan to book a cosmetic treatment, an initial cosmetic consultation is often required. 

Botox, fillers, and radiofrequency microneedling are popular cosmetic treatments at many aesthetic clinics.   

However, many other treatments are also available at clinics in our network. For example, other aesthetic treatments available in our network include:
