What are fillers?

With fillers, we can correct the loss of volume in your face and fill in wrinkles, causing them to fade or even disappear. The lines in your face soften, fewer shadows fall on your face, and you get a younger, fresher look.

First of all, we would like to invite you to our clinic for a free and non-committal consultation. During this consultation, our cosmetic physicians (KNMG certified) will have a conversation with you to discuss and determine the best solution that aligns with your desired improvements. Photos of your face will also be taken during the consultation, and an extensive facial and skin analysis will be conducted according to the Confidence Booster® standard by our specialist. Based on your photos and the facial and skin analysis, the quality and firmness of your skin, facial anatomy, and degree of aging will be assessed. Ultimately, you will receive advice in the form of a personalized treatment plan.

First, an appointment is scheduled for a dermal filler treatment. We always ask you to arrive slightly earlier so that you can calmly review and sign the treatment agreement for the dermal filler procedure, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. Subsequently, the treating physician will go through everything with you one more time, and the treatment can begin.

As the first step, the treated area will be locally numbed. Additionally, in our clinic, we use fillers that already contain a local anesthetic, so you don’t have to worry about whether a dermal filler treatment will be painful. Then, a small puncture hole is made, through which the filler can be injected into the skin using a cannula, which is a safer alternative to a needle. The cannula has a rounded tip instead of a sharp point, which reduces the risk of bruising and allows any swelling to subside more quickly. Once the cannula is inserted, the filler can be injected into the tissue through the hollow needle.

The results of a dermal filler treatment are immediately visible. However, there may be some swelling or bruising, which is completely normal and usually subsides after a few days. Depending on the type of treatment, the treating physician typically spends 30 to 45 minutes on the procedure. After the treatment, a follow-up appointment is scheduled, usually two to four weeks later, so that any swelling or bruising has fully resolved, and the final results are visible. Dermal fillers usually last between 8 to 24 months and are gradually naturally absorbed by the body. This depends on the type of filler, the treated area, and how frequently you have had fillers in that area before. To maintain the best and longest-lasting results, we recommend coming back for a touch-up early on, so that you can enjoy a beautiful result for months to come!

Botox and fillers are both injectables aimed at improving the skin and anatomy of the face. The main difference between Botox and fillers lies in the fact that fillers fill in wrinkles, grooves or lines and Botulinum Toxin causes your muscles to relax. As a result, wrinkles will disappear or fade and your skin will look smoother.

While Botox does not create volume, fillers do. They “fill in” areas of your face where you want more volume. We can fill up your lips, fill up your cheekbones, fill up your sunken temples, fill up your cheeks or fill up the droopy skin around your eyes, but we can also remove acne scars or correct your nose without surgery.

Hyaluronic acid is a protein that occurs naturally in our bodies. It is part of our skin and provides hydration. Also, it is a main component of the fluid that allows our joints to move smoothly and provides processes such as wound healing and volume, among others.

At the Van Rosmalen Clinic, we go for a natural result at all times. We ensure that you become a more beautiful version of yourself, without losing your unique look. Therefore, we look closely at your natural face shape. We give you honest, personal advice and draw up a treatment plan together.

Our clients do not experience a filler treatment as painful. The liquid of the filler contains anesthesia, so you actually only briefly feel the first prick. After that, the area to be treated is numbed. Only in very sensitive areas, such as the lips, an additional anesthetic is applied, similar to a dental anesthetic. This wears off 30 minutes later.

In total, the treatment takes about half an hour.

There may be some redness, swelling or blue discoloration around the injection site after treatment. You can camouflage this with a little makeup and continue with your daily activities.

After two to three weeks, the result of the treatment is optimal, but some of our clients notice a difference after just a few days. This depends on the body’s reaction to the treatment. For example, swelling may occur, with recovery time varying from person to person.

Treatment with fillers provides a beautiful correction between 18 to 24 months, depending on the type of filler and treatment area. After this, the effect will slowly diminish. We therefore recommend that you come back once a year for a touch-up.

The fillers we use at the Van Rosmalen Kliniek are extremely safe. Moreover, hyaluronic acid is naturally present in your body, so the chance of an allergic reaction is very small. The risk of complications is therefore virtually zero.

We do recommend that you do not undergo any beauty or other cosmetic treatments other than those advised by the clinic in the first two weeks after the filler placement. For the first five days, avoid bright sun, be careful with touching the skin, wait with makeup until a few hours after treatment, and take it easy on sports for the first day.

No, the fillers used by the Van Rosmalen Kliniek are specially designed to retain their shape. Even when pushed firmly.

Due to ingrowth of tissue into the filler where it is placed, the filler stays completely in place. The swelling after treatment may sag a bit, however, making it appear as if the filler did not stay in place. Once this has subsided, the result of the filler will only be assessable.

Fillers are not heavy in the skin, so your skin does not stretch up or out. In addition, the filler stimulates collagen, making the skin firmer. In short: precisely because of the filler, your skin recovers and can have more than before. If facial filler treatment is not repeated, the face will slowly return to its old shape and lines.

The answer to this is, no. Everyone has a unique face and we ensure that this uniqueness remains.

Sometimes you may experience minor side effects after treatment but this is very normal and temporary in nature.
