The doctors at The Body Clinic treat many clients with utmost care and pleasure. Now I’m curious and maybe you too if the doctors at The Body Clinic also have anything done to their faces….I asked the owner of The Body Clinic, Drs Bart Biermans, what treatments he himself has undergone and what he considers important about his appearance. I will also ask these questions of the other doctors.
(Before)
What treatments have you had done to yourself?
I always jokingly say, I’ve had everything done except my nose, but of course that’s not quite true. To skin improvement, I have done laser treatments combined with products from Dr. Obagi and Skinboosters. I also put botox in my frown and forehead and fill my contoured face with a hyaluronic acid.
How old were you when you started treatments for yourself?
Actually pretty soon during a Restylane workshop I had a small line filled. I was 28 years old at the time.
Which doctor is treating you?
I am treated by my colleague.
Do you care about looking good as a doctor?
You need to look presentable and project how you feel. I find a cosmetic doctor with wrinkles quite charming, but it doesn’t suit me. I like to look a little younger than my age.
Do you do the treatments because you’re curious about the results or because you really need them?
I personally find the volume recovery really necessary with myself. Before I did this, people used to ask if I had lost weight. This was because I draw very much in my face. Since I’ve been using the fillers, fewer and fewer people ask if I’ve lost weight. I myself am also happy with some extra volume in my face. I find the botox in the forehead to be necessary myself. When I look at my family, they all have deep forehead wrinkles. Personally, I don’t like that much, but tastes differ, of course. I have no patent on beauty, which remains subjective and different for everyone.
How often do you keep up with it now and what treatments?
Botox 2x a year. Fillers 2x a year. Products every day.
(After)
Are you satisfied with your appearance?
I am satisfied with my own appearance, though. People also often estimate me younger than I really am.
