Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on the type of peel you choose and your specific goals. Our skin therapist will discuss with you in advance which peel would be most suitable. Should your wishes require multiple treatments, the skin therapist will discuss a treatment plan with you.
No, after a chemical peel, the skin is extra sensitive to UV radiation. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week after the treatment. Additionally, always use a good sunscreen with a high SPF to properly protect the skin.
Laser therapy can reduce acne by addressing its root cause and promoting recovery. It can regulate the skin's excessive sebum production and kill the bacteria that cause acne. Additionally, laser therapy stimulates skin renewal, which helps in skin recovery and reducing acne scars. On average, 3-6 treatments are needed for optimal results.
We advise against kissing in the first few days after the treatment. There may still be swelling and a bruised feeling. After 1-2 weeks, the lip will have fully recovered, and your partner will not feel that your lips have been filled. They will feel natural and soft again.
This depends on your personal skin needs and goals. Schedule a consultation with our skin therapist to find out which of our peels will provide you with the best results.
Usually, 2 to 3 treatments are required, with an 8-week interval between them. 80% of patients report satisfaction after 3 treatments. The precise number of treatments varies per person and will be discussed during the consultation.
Yes, the result of lipolysis is permanent. The fat cells, once broken down, will not return in those areas, as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is used for weight loss and weight maintenance in individuals with obesity (BMI ≥ 30) or overweight (BMI 27–30) with weight-related problems, and for the treatment of type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.
Nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, and indigestion.
Lip flip experiences are generally positive. People especially appreciate the subtle, natural result and the fact that no fillers are used. The effect is temporary and the treatment is quick and minimally invasive.
A lipolysis treatment at The Body Clinic costs €495. A non-binding consultation and the follow-up appointment are included in the price.
Yes, this is possible but needs to be thoroughly discussed with the skin therapist. Depending on the skin's needs, a peel can be combined with other treatment techniques. It is important to follow the skin therapist's advice.
Almost all of our treatments are available at every location. Exceptions include upper eyelid correction, PRP treatment, hair filler and lipolysis – these are only performed at specific locations. On the relevant treatment pages, you can see which clinic offers these procedures.
Applying a lip filler takes approximately 15 minutes. Before we treat you, an anesthetic cream needs to be applied, so please arrive at the clinic 30 minutes earlier. Afterwards, it is sometimes advisable to cool the lip.
Profhilo is a treatment with a large amount of pure hyaluronic acid without chemical additives. Its effect is due to the stimulation of collagen (firmness) and elastin (elasticity) production. The skin becomes firm and healthy again in the different skin layers. With a Profhilo treatment, it is possible to rejuvenate the skin without adding volume to the face.
Yes, the result of lip fillers is immediately visible after the treatment. You will instantly see that your lips are fuller. The definitive final result is visible after 1-2 weeks, when any swelling has completely subsided. Immediately after the treatment, the lips are often swollen, making them appear fuller than the ultimate result. After 1-2 weeks, you will see the natural, refined result. The effect lasts for an average of 12 months.
The treatment is generally considered comfortable. You will feel a firm, rolling massage that is not painful. On a scale of 0 to 10, the pain is typically rated as a 3. The intensity of the device is adjusted to your skin type and personal sensitivity. Many people even find the treatment relaxing.
Mesobotox is a treatment that combines microneedling with the infusion of botulinum toxin and nourishing ingredients into the superficial skin layers. Unlike traditional Botox, mesobotox does not act on the muscles but on the skin itself. It leads to improved skin quality, a natural glow, a more even skin tone, and reduced sebum and sweat production.
Yes, laser therapy can be combined with a chemical peel for pigmentation, if necessary, for optimal results. During the consultation, the skin therapist will discuss which approach best suits your situation and whether a combination treatment is beneficial.
The Spock effect refers to Doctor Spock's raised eyebrow. In most cases, you can prevent this effect by adjusting the botox treatment plan for people who are susceptible to it. If you still suffer from the Spock effect despite adjusting this plan? Don't worry: a small injection above the eyebrow will provide a solution. Feel free to visit our clinic for a complimentary touch-up treatment if you experience this.
A botox treatment for frown lines costs €210. If you also have another area treated in addition to the frown line, the price per area will be lower. For example, the price for 2 botox areas is €360 and for 3 botox areas is €470.
Naturally, something changes in your face when the frown lines have been treated with botulinum toxin. However, it is rare for someone to experience this as unnatural. The frown line is a wrinkle that makes the facial expression serious, sullen, or tired. The effect of botox is that your face gets a softer and less tired appearance. Everyone experiences this as positive.
You can have a botox treatment immediately after a lipolysis treatment. For a filler treatment, we recommend scheduling 2 weeks between the lipolysis treatment and the filler treatment.
Absolutely! It is indeed possible to treat a frown line even if there isn't one yet. Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscle responsible for frowning – so the angry expression will disappear, and you will achieve a nice open and relaxed look.
We advise refraining from kissing for 24 hours after a lip flip. This prevents unnecessary pressure on the treated area, allowing the Botox to properly take full effect.
A mesobotox treatment costs €345. This includes the consultation, the complete treatment (cleansing, peeling, microneedling with a botox cocktail, and a soothing mask), and the follow-up appointment. During the free consultation, you will receive personalized advice on the expected results and any potential maintenance treatments.
Some celebrities do indeed use too much botulinum toxin, for example in areas around the mouth or forehead. If you immobilize the muscles you use for speaking, for instance, you get the infamous 'poker face effect': a 'plastic' face without expression or mimicry. Such an expressionless face can also be due to too many wrinkle fillers.
If the Botox injections are administered correctly, there is no reason to fear drooping eyebrows. The frown muscles actually pull the eyebrow down slightly and are now temporarily deactivated, which is why some people even experience a lifting effect after a frown line treatment.
Prior to a chemical peel, it is recommended to prepare the skin with the appropriate home care products. These home products contain the same or similar ingredients as professional peels but in lower concentrations. This ensures a safer and more effective treatment. It is not recommended to expose the skin to sunlight or to wax it before a peel.
Mesobotox works superficially in the skin layers and improves skin quality without relaxing muscles. Traditional botox is injected into the muscles by a cosmetic doctor and causes muscle relaxation to reduce wrinkles. Mesobotox is applied via microneedling by a skin therapist, while traditional botox is injected. With mesobotox, your facial expression remains completely natural.
On the contrary! Because you haven't used the muscles responsible for your frown for a while, you may have somewhat unlearned how to use them. After your frown hasn't been active for a period, you will naturally frown much less. Moreover, the skin, having been inactive for a few months due to Botox, has been able to recover beautifully. As a result, the frown lines have also become less deep.
Yes, laser therapy can be excellently combined with a chemical peel for acne. This combination is very effective because the laser works in the deeper skin layers, and the peel subsequently has an anti-inflammatory effect on active acne. With a combination treatment, you receive a 20% discount on the total amount.
Lipolysis is not reimbursed by health insurance. A double chin is not a medical indication but a cosmetic treatment.
LPG endermologie is a mechanical connective tissue massage performed with a special device. The treatment head makes rolling and suction movements over the skin, stimulating the underlying tissue. This improves blood circulation, promotes the removal of waste products, and stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, smoother skin and a visible reduction in cellulite.
Most people notice an improvement in skin structure and firmness within 3 to 5 treatments. For reducing cellulite or improving contour, more sessions are usually needed. The results become gradually visible and improve as the course progresses. Optimal results are achieved after a course of 8 to 10 treatments.
Coagulation is a skin treatment where a fine needle delivers electrical current to heat small skin imperfections. This heat causes the unwanted tissue to clot and be expelled by the body. The method is safe, precise, and suitable for removing fibromas, milia, and other benign skin lesions, among others.
When only small areas are treated and when the substance is injected only into the fat tissue, lipolysis is not dangerous. At The Body Clinic, our experienced doctors ensure that the treatment is performed safely and according to protocol.
The cost of a liquid facelift depends on the number of areas being treated. The price for 3 ml of a liquid facelift starts from €1,100. Which liquid facelift is suitable for you will be discussed with the doctor during a free consultation.
Whether the treatment is perceived as painful varies from person to person. If you have a fear of needles, it will not be a pleasant treatment. However, we do use a numbing cream that ensures the treatment is experienced as less painful. The filler itself also contains lidocaine, which has an anesthetic effect. We really take our time and have experience with people who don't like needles.
LPG endermology is a safe treatment with minimal side effects. In some cases, temporary redness, slight sensitivity, or a bruise may occur. This usually disappears within one to two days. Serious complications are very rare and are almost never reported when the treatment is performed correctly by an experienced skin therapist.
You can expect to pay around €450 to €1,100. This depends on whether the jawline is also treated. The costs of fillers for marionette lines will be discussed during the no-obligation consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.
Mesobotox is suitable for people who want to improve their skin quality, suffer from dull skin or uneven skin tone, experience excessive sebum or sweat production, or are looking for radiant skin without the muscle relaxation of traditional Botox. The treatment is suitable for most skin types. During the consultation, the skin therapist will assess whether mesobotox is suitable for your specific situation.
A healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, regular exercise, and stress management can contribute to better hair growth. Additionally, scalp massages and avoiding aggressive hair treatments can improve your hair's health. Mesotherapy supports this natural approach by directly nourishing the scalp with essential nutrients.
Yes, that is possible. Because certain muscles relax after a botox treatment, other muscles may tense up, which can lead to tension headaches. You can prevent this in the future by coming in on time for your follow-up treatment. The muscles will then remain relaxed, and the chance of tension headaches will be reduced with a second treatment.
Botulinum toxin is only a toxic substance in particularly high concentrations. There are more substances we use daily that are also toxic in high concentrations, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. In the low concentrations used and permitted for wrinkle and anti-perspiration treatments, it is absolutely not a poison and therefore safe to use!
In SURPASS-3 (52 weeks): 7.5 kg (5 mg), 10.7 kg (10 mg), 12.9 kg (15 mg). Depending on the dose, 81–91% lost ≥5% of their weight.
The treatment is generally well-tolerated. You usually experience a brief stinging or warm sensation during the procedure. Any discomfort is minimal and short-lived. The treatment can be performed without anesthesia.
On the contrary! Because the area treated with botulinum toxin has not been active for a few months, the skin has been able to recover beautifully. Moreover, you haven't made the wrinkles deeper by not using those muscles for a period of time. You may also have somewhat unlearned how to use that muscle. The frown is a good example of this. After your frown has been inactive for a period, you will naturally frown much less.
In most cases, one coagulation treatment is sufficient to effectively remove a fibroma. For larger or multiple fibromas, an additional session may be required. Your skin therapist will estimate the number of necessary treatments during the consultation.
Yes, in some cases, medical weight loss is (partially) covered by health insurance, but this depends on the type of program and your personal situation.
Mesobotox results can last 3 to 6 months, depending on your individual skin condition, lifestyle, and adherence to maintenance treatments. Initial results are usually visible within a few days to a week, with the optimal effect appearing after about two weeks.
It is strongly advised against removing skin tags yourself, as this can lead to infections, scarring, or excessive bleeding. Professional removal by a skin therapist is safer and more effective. At The Body Clinic, we safely remove skin tags using coagulation.
The treatment may cause a slight stinging sensation during the laser pulses. Most people find this well-tolerated. On a scale of 0 to 10, the pain is rated at an average of 4. The skin therapist ensures you feel as comfortable as possible during the treatment.
Appetite often decreases in the first weeks; the greatest effect is typically seen after 9–12 months.

Your doctor will assess that based on your BMI, health, and medical history.
Milia can be professionally removed by a skin therapist using coagulation. This involves short electrical pulses that locally heat the tissue. This causes the tissue to coagulate and the spot to dry out, after which it disappears naturally. This treatment is very precise, prevents damage to the surrounding skin, and minimizes the risk of scarring.
Immediately after the treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling. The treated vessels may first turn purple before disappearing. The full result gradually becomes visible in the days and weeks after the treatment, as the body breaks down and clears the vessels.
The mesobotox treatment may cause a slight stinging sensation during microneedling. On a scale of 0 to 10, the pain is rated as a 4 on average. If desired, a numbing cream can be used to make the treatment more comfortable. Most people find the treatment well-tolerated.
More information about the medicines used in the Medical weight loss with injections programs can be found on the medication page or by calling us directly (085-7600035), emailing (info@bodyclinic.nl) or booking a consultation.
Mesobotox can be combined with other skin-improving treatments for optimal results. However, it is important to maintain the correct interval between different treatments. During the consultation, the skin therapist will discuss which combinations are possible and what the best treatment plan is for your goals.
On average, the effects of this treatment last 3-4 months.
Yes, that is possible. After a Botox treatment, other muscles may relax, and as a compensatory reaction, other muscles may tense up, which can lead to tension headaches. This also occurs with migraine treatment. You can prevent this in the future by attending your follow-up treatment on time. This ensures the muscles remain relaxed, significantly reducing the chance of tension headaches with subsequent treatments.
Medical weight loss means losing weight under the supervision of a doctor or specialist, usually because there are health risks associated with being overweight or previous attempts to lose weight have been unsuccessful.
Recovery after coagulation is usually fast. Most people can resume their daily activities immediately. The skin fully heals within one to two weeks, depending on the size and location of the treated area.
Dermapen is the most well-known brand name for a microneedling pen. Because Dermapen is often used as a synonym for microneedling, this can cause confusion. At The Body Clinic, we do not use the Dermapen, but another brand of microneedling pen with the same effect. The technique and results are comparable to the Dermapen treatment.
Yes, you can administer the injections yourself. During your first session with your Medical Weight Loss Coach, your coach will show you how to administer the injection into your thigh, abdomen, or upper arm. You will then independently administer the injections with the pen. Our YouTube channel also has videos with injection instructions.
When correctly applied and with proper aftercare, the chance of scarring is very small. It is important not to scratch or pick at the scab during the recovery process. Follow your skin therapist's aftercare instructions to minimize the risk of scarring.
Medical weight loss with injections can cost as little as €199 per month. View an overview of the medication and program prices here.
This always depends on your wishes and goals for the treatment. Optimal results are achieved in most treatment plans within three to six sessions. This will always be discussed with you in advance during a free consultation with our skin therapist. To maintain the results, it is recommended to have a maintenance treatment regularly.

No, after a microneedling treatment, the skin is extra sensitive to UV radiation. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week after the treatment. Additionally, use a good sunscreen with a high SPF to properly protect the skin. This is important for optimal recovery and to prevent hyperpigmentation.
Makeup may be applied to the treated area two days after the microneedling treatment. For the first 24 hours, it is important that the skin can recover optimally without makeup. The skin therapist will provide personalized aftercare advice during the treatment.

The results of laser therapy for couperose remain visible for approximately 3 to 6 months. As couperose can be influenced by factors such as genetic predisposition, sun damage, and lifestyle, we recommend maintaining the results by repeating the treatment 1 to 2 times a year for a long-lasting effect.
Because migraine occurs in many forms, it is referred to as migraine when specific anti-migraine medication provides relief. We are not talking about paracetamol or other "normal" pain medication here. With tension headache, the main symptom is headache, while with migraine, various other symptoms can occur, such as nausea, vomiting, intolerance to light and sounds, aura formation, light flashes, and visual field loss.

After the coagulation treatment, the skin may be temporarily red or swollen. A crust may form on the treated area, which will fall off naturally within a few days. With proper aftercare, the chance of scars or other complications is minimal.
Because a Botox treatment for migraines is not yet an officially registered treatment, most health insurance companies do not reimburse this treatment. Inquire with your own health insurer whether this treatment is covered. Sometimes there are conditions for certain treatment centers, inform yourself well to avoid disappointment.

So-called 'puffed-up' faces are often caused by incorrect use of fillers. If skin laxity is too great or if the face already has a lot of natural volume, too much filler can cause an unnatural appearance. That is why The Body Clinic always offers a free consultation. During this consultation, we assess whether you are suitable for a liquid facelift and evaluate the quality of your skin. You will receive honest, personalized advice from us. Furthermore, The Body Clinic prefers multiple treatments in small steps rather than an immediate 'plump' effect.
