Bone Loss During the aging process, bone is absorbed, and facial bones become thinner and more fragile. This makes your face appear narrower and leads to less defined jawlines and cheekbones.
Fat Loss The face loses subcutaneous fat, elasticity/collagen decreases, and volume descends from the cheeks and eyelids due to gravity. Collagen is a connective tissue that provides firmness and elasticity to the skin. At a young age, our body produces enough collagen to keep the skin firm and supple. However, after the age of 25, collagen production decreases. As the skin becomes slacker and external factors have a greater impact on the skin, the first wrinkles slowly appear. Additionally, the production of the protein elastin also decreases.
Volume Loss The distribution of subcutaneous volume can be corrected without surgery, using injectables. This can also effectively address wrinkles. The most common treatments for wrinkles are botulinum toxin (Botox) and hyaluronic acid (e.g., Restylane®). Botox relaxes the underlying facial muscles, while hyaluronic acid plumps up the skin. A perfect way to restore facial volume loss is a liquid facelift treatment.

Bart Biermans is a cosmetic doctor and founder of The Body Clinic. After studying medicine at Utrecht University, he started one clinic in Amsterdam, which under his leadership has grown into a leading organization with multiple locations in the Netherlands and Germany. With over 20 years of experience in injectables, Bart has developed a clear vision on natural aesthetics, balance, and harmony. Although Bart now only sporadically treats patients, he plays an important role in coaching the doctors within The Body Clinic. He transfers his years of experience by guiding doctors in the same refined working method he developed himself: subtle improvements that suit a person's face, without it being visible that a treatment has taken place. Bart encourages his team to work with small, thoughtful adjustments and to prefer a refined follow-up rather than doing too much at once. In this way, he safeguards natural aesthetics and the preservation of facial expressions as core values within the entire organization. In addition, as director, Bart is closely involved in medical quality, strategic choices, and the further growth of The Body Clinic. His vision on meticulousness, natural results, and realistic aesthetics continues to form the basis of how the clinic operates and grows to this day.
