Michiel van Leeuwen
Dr. Michiel van Leeuwen is a medical weight loss physician at The Body Clinic and offers online consultations.
With my years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry and my work on the development of anti-obesity medication, I understand better than anyone how complex weight problems are. It goes beyond willpower – it is a medical condition that requires an integrated approach.
I strongly believe in promoting healthy lifestyle habits and offering support to people struggling with obesity. Medication can be a powerful aid, but real change occurs when we combine this with sustainable adjustments in your daily life. Through online guidance, I help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight – with attention to both medication and learning and normalizing a healthy lifestyle. Because lasting results start with an approach that suits you.
Michiel completed his medical training at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where he also completed his doctoral research in experimental and plastic surgery, focusing on wound healing and stem cell technology. His unique combination of academic knowledge, pharmaceutical expertise, and clinical experience in addiction care and cosmetic medicine makes him a versatile specialist in medical weight loss.

"After visiting three clinics, this one is the best. The Botox they use lasts the longest for me. Today I had a follow-up treatment for my eyebrow lift, and the previous treatment was 5 months ago. At other clinics, it would wear off after just 3 months. Also, the doctor is skilled, explains things well, and injects more often than I was used to. I can definitely recommend The Body Clinic for their Botox treatments."
"What a top doctor! I've tried many doctors, but Rosé is clear and honest, and what's truly amazing is that she gives injections and you feel NO pain."
"I had an upper eyelid correction performed at The Body Clinic in Utrecht by doctor Mirthe. I suffered greatly from drooping eyelids, which made me always look tired. During a personal consultation with doctor Mirthe, she thoroughly prepared me for the treatment, and I felt completely at ease. That's why I decided to undergo this operation. During the operation, I first received anesthetic injections; these were sensitive but not painful. After the treatment, I experienced bruising and swelling, but I had been clearly informed about this beforehand. A week after the treatment, the stitches were removed, and I already saw a big difference. A few weeks later, I am very satisfied. I have a more open gaze and feel completely radiant again. I am incredibly happy that I had an eyelid correction. The result is beautiful!"
