Do you notice wrinkles in the mirror that you weren't aware of before? A frown line, fine lines around the eyes, or creases that make your face look more tired than you feel? There are safe ways to soften or remove those wrinkles, in a way that remains natural and suits you. On this page you'll read how wrinkles develop, which treatments suit which type of wrinkle, and how Dr T. approaches this in Ghent. Honestly, medically substantiated, and always focused on a subtle and respectful result.
Wrinkles are part of aging, but not all wrinkles are the same. Broadly, there are two types. Dynamic wrinkles arise from repeated movement of your facial muscles, such as frowning, laughing, or raising your eyebrows. Static wrinkles are the lines that remain visible even when your face is at rest, often because your skin loses volume and firmness over the years.
The type of wrinkle determines the approach. Dynamic wrinkles, such as the frown line or crow's feet, are relaxed by gently calming the muscle. For volume loss or deeper creases, filling or stimulating your own skin renewal is often more appropriate. That's why wrinkle removal is never a standard recipe: it's about the right treatment in the right place.
At Dr T. that always starts with carefully looking at your face and your wish, so you don't get a treatment that doesn't suit your wrinkle or you.
For dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow's feet, botox is often a suitable choice. The muscle causing the wrinkle is relaxed, causing the line to fade without making your face stiff or expressionless. The goal is a relaxed, fresher look, not a mask.
For deeper creases and volume loss, such as the lines from nose to mouth, fillers can restore lost volume and soften the crease. For the overall quality of your skin, fine lines, and a dull complexion, there are skinboosters such as Profhilo, biostimulators like Sculptra that spark your own collagen production, and polynucleotides that restore the skin from within.
Often a combination gives the most beautiful, most natural result. Which treatment or combination makes sense for you is discussed during a consultation, based on your skin and your expectations.
Wrinkle treatments are suitable if you are bothered by wrinkles or creases and want a fresher appearance in a safe, gradual way, without it being noticeable that you had something done. Whether you mainly want to address your frown line or want your entire skin to be a bit firmer, there is usually an appropriate approach.
Yet not everything is always a good idea. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, we never give injectables. Also in case of an active skin infection in the treatment area, certain autoimmune disorders or allergies, or if your expectation is not realistic, a treatment may be unwise. Very deep wrinkles or pronounced skin laxity sometimes require a different approach than injectables alone.
Dr T. says it honestly when a treatment is not suitable or would not give the result you have in mind. Rather an honest advice than a treatment that doesn't suit you.
Everything starts with a consultation. Dr T. examines your face at rest and in motion, listens to what bothers you and what you wish, and explains which treatment or combination fits. You get clear explanations about what is realistic and what is not.
The treatment itself proceeds calmly and precisely. Depending on what you receive, it is done with fine needles and usually does not take long. A botox treatment is generally quickly finished, fillers and biostimulators require a bit more care and placement. You can usually continue your day afterwards, with a few simple aftercare instructions.

The timing varies per treatment. With botox, you see the effect build up gradually, with a first change after a few hours to 3 days and the full effect after about two weeks. The result lasts several months. Fillers often give an immediate visible difference, which comes into its own after any swelling subsides.
Biostimulators and skinboosters such as Sculptra or Profhilo work more slowly and naturally: they stimulate your own skin repair, causing the improvement to build up over weeks, often after multiple sessions. The result therefore looks very gradual, which suits a subtle, respectful approach.
No treatment is permanent. Softening wrinkles is maintenance, not a one-time intervention. During your consultation, you get a realistic picture of what to expect and when a follow-up makes sense.
Injectables are safe when placed by an experienced doctor, with attention to anatomy and dosage. Yet, as with any medical treatment, possible side effects are part of it. Think of temporary redness, slight swelling, or a bruise at the injection site. These usually disappear on their own within a few days. Rarer side effects Dr T. discusses openly with you before you decide.
The price of wrinkle removal depends on which treatment you need, how many zones you want to address, and how much product is needed for that. Addressing one frown line is something different than a combination treatment across the whole face. That's why we don't work with loose standard prices on this page.
During the consultation, you get an honest estimate that suits your situation, so you know in advance what to expect. That way, you choose calmly and well-informed.

Book an appointmentEvery wrinkle has its own story. Whether you notice fine lines around the eyes, a deep frown line, or sagging from lost volume, the root cause points to the right solution. Dr T. classifies wrinkles into three categories: dynamic wrinkles from repeated muscle movement, static wrinkles from collagen breakdown, and folds from volume loss that signal deeper depletion.
Frown lines, crow's feet, and horizontal forehead lines are classic examples. Here, Dr T. uses muscle relaxants (botulinum toxin) with high precision. This reduces muscle activity, smooths the lines, and prevents them from becoming deeper. An experienced physician doses precisely so you can frown and smile freely, no frozen look, just a relaxed, refreshed appearance.
Fine lines on the cheeks or around the lips respond beautifully to skinboosters (deep hydration with hyaluronic acid). On the cheeks, Sculptra can also help: it encourages your own collagen growth, firming and plumping the skin from inside. We do not use Sculptra around the mouth. The effect emerges gradually: no one spots a treatment, only a brighter, healthier complexion.
Marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and jawline laxity point to deeper volume loss. Using hyaluronic acid fillers, Dr T. strategically revives those contours, never overfilled, just supported in the right places. The result is a natural lift that echoes your own youthful structure.
Interest in a facelift without surgery keeps growing, especially among those who want to avoid incisions, downtime, or unnatural outcomes. In many clinics, energy-based devices like Ultherapy, HIFU, or FaceTite are used. They employ ultrasound or radiofrequency to tighten tissue. While they can be effective, results vary and the approach doesn’t suit everyone.
At Dr T. we take a different path, a regenerative, injectable approach that refines rather than transforms. By combining Sculptra (collagen stimulation), strategically placed fillers, and possibly thread lifting, skin laxity lessens, volume returns, and facial contours are revitalized. Because your body builds new collagen naturally, the outcome looks organic, not artificial. And with no incisions, downtime becomes negligible.
The price varies widely with the method and areas treated. In Belgium, a single HIFU session ranges from 800 to 2000 euros, while FaceTite may reach 3000 euros. For injectable plans, you pay per zone and product. Dr T. designs a fully personalized roadmap during your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect, no pressure, just honest clarity on what makes a difference for you.
Whether you're bothered by frown lines, crow's feet, marionette lines, or a tired look around the eyes, each area requires a specific approach. Dr T. welcomes clients from all over Oost-Vlaanderen who choose a natural result. The practice is easily accessible from Gent, Zwijnaarde, Sint-Denijs-Westrem, De Pinte, Sint-Martens-Latem and Merelbeke. Clients also come from further municipalities such as Lochristi, Wetteren and Aalst for this medical yet warm approach to wrinkle-reducing treatments.
First-time patients often imagine a single procedure, but the most natural results emerge from a strategic blend. Techniques that reinforce one another, tailored precisely to your skin, create harmony rather than an obvious change. For instance, pairing Sculptra with a skin booster builds volume and radiance, while muscle relaxants soften dynamic lines without compromising expression. PRP, rich in your own growth factors, enhances other regenerative treatments beautifully. During your consultation, we design a gradual treatment plan that never feels overdone, so you see a fresher, firmer version of yourself, never a different face.
