HYBRID FILLER, the super skin booster

for superficial, fine wrinkles. Also for the neck.

WHAT IS A HYBRID FILLER?

A hybrid filler is a combination of hyaluronic acid and a collagen-stimulating filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite in 1 syringe. Plastic surgeon Dr. Nelissen uses Belotero (Revive) and Radiesse for this.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Nelissen will make  for you a personalized cocktail of 2 different types of fillers, each with a different effect. By injecting an anesthetic, this injection is also very easy to handle.

The difference between  a hyaluronic acid filler (such as Belotero) and a collagen-stimulating injectable (such as Radiesse) is that:

• hyaluronic acid acts as a  "filler" to add extra volume to the face where desired. Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture, which also makes the skin appear a little plumper.
• In a collagen-stimulating injection, the active ingredient is injected deep into the skin via a liquid or gel, thus stimulating the patient's own collagen and elastin production.
• However, the skin-improving effect of the collagen booster is not immediately visible. Production starts only after about 4-6 weeks and lasts up to six months. The skin-improving effect can last up to 2 years. However, we find that most patients return to the Global Care Clinic within a year for touch-up by Dr. Nelissen.
• Where hyaluronic acid wears off completely over time, collagen stimulation produces a lasting result.

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF A HYBRID FILLER?

• Both active ingredients in the hybrid filler are completely biodegradable fillers and have been on the market for a long time. In this hybrid type of injection, Dr. Nelissen works on direct filling on the one hand, and collagen stimulation, skin thickening, and skin enhancement on the other.
• By combining the 2 techniques, you will get synergies and the final result will be more beautiful and certainly more natural than if you only apply hyaluronic acid fillers or only collagen stimulation. For best results, the skin feels full, supple and firm, and is also well moisturized and tightened.
• By using hybrid fillers, you get double effect with 1 injectable. 

HOW MUCH DOES A HYBRID FILLER COST?

It depends on the amounts and the mixture that the doctor makes. So you're paying for both products. For example, 1 ml of hyaluronic acid costs €350 and 1.5 ml of collagen-stimulating injectable costs €450.

For a hybrid filler at the Global Care Clinic, you currently pay the promotional price of € 600 - €750.
