Botox
A purified protein is injected into the muscle. The muscle relaxes and the wrinkles in the classic places fade: frown lines, crow's feet, forehead. It is a virtually painless treatment that you can have done during the consultation. The effect is visible after a few days and remains so for about 4 months.
Fillers
1 / Hyaluronic acid or volumizing filler
The different types of wrinkles, from superficial to deeper, can be tackled with hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin.
The fillers are available in different concentrations, so they can be used to build volume, but also to fill in fine lines.
2 / Collagen-stimulating filler
This is a gel matrix that is inserted and disappears after 3 months to be replaced by natural collagen. Very suitable for treating deep wrinkles, building volume or accentuating certain facial features.
The treatment is performed during the consultation and the results remain visible for approximately 12 months or longer.
3 / Liquid facelift
A combination of fillers with muscle relaxants in one session is also called a 'liquid facelift'. Lines and grooves fade and the sagging skin is lifted. Ideal for you if you do not have time for surgery or if it is not yet necessary.
There may be some swelling because larger areas are treated, but the results are immediately visible and very natural.
Peelings
'Peeling' simply means: 'peeling' the top layer of skin. This is done with a chemical liquid that fades the superficial wrinkles, spots and scars. A peeling is particularly effective for treating acne marks and pigment disorders. A fruit acid or soft peeling only gives a nice refreshment and can best be repeated after 3 weeks.
A TCA or deeper peeling (from 15 to 30%) has a greater effect. The first few days after the treatment the skin may be a bit tight and from day 3 or 4 it may flake slightly, but after a week the skin is healed.
Important: no sun exposure for the first three weeks!
Laser
Our various laser handpieces can be used to tackle various problems. It is possible to treat couperose and pigment spots. We can tighten the skin and remove naevi. Laser hair removal is also possible.
After most treatments you can return to work immediately.
