Fillers
Fillers are a versatile and effective treatment in cosmetic medicine. They are traditionally used to restore lost volume in the face or to enhance contours. What many people don't yet know is that fillers can also be used to improve and firm skin quality, without adding volume. Thanks to techniques such as the Fern Pattern Technique, a filler treatment now offers more than just plumping: it is also a subtle skin rejuvenation from within.
What are fillers?
Fillers are gels based on hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that retains moisture and gives the skin elasticity. Depending on their thickness and application, fillers can restore volume, fill wrinkles, or improve skin structure.
Applications of fillers
- Volume restoration in cheeks, cheekbones, and temples
- Enhancement of lips or chin
- Softening of deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Skin firming and rejuvenation with the Fern Pattern Technique (read more about the Fern Pattern Technique below)
- Refinement of skin texture without a 'filled' effect

Frequently Asked Questions about Fillers
How long are fillers visible?
Depending on the type of filler and the area, the results typically last 6 to 18 months. Lips often fade faster (6-9 months), while cheeks or jawline can show effects for longer (12-18 months).
Does a filler treatment hurt?
Most people find fillers to be mildly to moderately sensitive, but not very painful. A numbing cream is often used, and many fillers also contain lidocaine (anesthetic) for extra comfort. For lip treatments, we always recommend a complete numbing of the lips to make it as comfortable as possible for you.
Are fillers safe?
Yes, when administered by a trained and experienced physician, fillers are generally safe. Temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, or bruising may occur. In the worst cases, fillers can block a blood vessel. This blockage must then be resolved as quickly as possible to prevent further damage. People often recover completely from this. Before the treatment, you will also be informed about what you can do at home to prevent and recognize a serious complication.
Can I reverse the results of fillers?
Yes, with hyaluronic acid fillers, the result can be dissolved relatively quickly with the enzyme hyaluronidase. This is used in case of complications or if you are not satisfied with the result.
Fern Pattern technique
The Fern Pattern Technique is an innovative and refined injection technique specifically aimed at skin firming and collagen stimulation, without adding visible volume. This technique is ideal for people who want to rejuvenate and firm their skin naturally, without a 'filled' effect or loss of facial expression.
What is the Fern Pattern Technique?
The Fern Pattern Technique was conceived and developed by the internationally renowned cosmetic doctor drs. Tom van Eijk. He teaches this technique to cosmetic doctors and other experts all over the world. He is also the trainer of Dr. Floyd Timmermans.
With the Fern Pattern Technique, a thin, elastic filler is superficially placed into the skin with small injections in a fern or fan pattern. This technique is inspired by the natural structure of skin fibers and aims to improve skin quality rather than volume correction. Through this targeted stimulation of collagen and elastin, the skin gains more firmness, elasticity, and a healthier appearance.
When is this technique suitable?
- Skin laxity of the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, corners of the mouth, cheeks, crow's feet, neck, and forehead.
- Smoker's lines or fine lines around the mouth.
- As a complement to other treatments such as Profhilo or Sculptra.
