PUISSANCE × GLOBAL CARE CLINIC177Alizée Poulicek, Miss Belgium 2008, still cares greatly for her appearance and health. That is why she went for a revitalizing skin treatment at the Global Care Clinic® near the racing circuit in Zolder.Plastic surgeon Marc Nelissen of the Global Care Clinic® explains the technique: “First we treat Alizée’s skin with an anaesthetizing cream. Then we shoot thousands of little holes of 1 to 2.5 mm deep into her skin. This is a plain painless process. Her skin will turn out a little red and could be slightly swollen comparable with ‘sun burn’. We can camouflagethis perfectly with a mineral make-up so that a patient can instantly continue her or his life on leaving the Global Care Clinic®. After two days, sometimes already after one day, this redness and little swelling vanish.”“A needling treatment lasts like half an hour, but you need to reckon with a few hours at the clinic. Next to the needling we provide a deep cleansing, the induction of vitamins, a peel-off algae mask and a protecting make-up”, doctor Marc Nelissen goes on. “Moreover, you can spread this needling in several sessions over a year’s time with a few weeks in between. In this way you achieve a maximum result with a minimum down- time.”“Needling is a revolutionary method to stimulate the pro- duction of collagen and connective tissue without needinga laser. The skin depth improves too. The treatment is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (C.I.T.) Needling acti- vates the natural restoring mechanism of the skin. The effect is a kind of wrinkle filling from the inside. Needling is ideal for skin tightening, revitalization and a fresher skin sparkle. It is further recommended for the treatment of fine skin wrinkles and lines, acne scars, welts and skin burns.

They do not only try to achieve the best results, but also to develop a long-standing doctor-patient relation- ship in which ageing becomes a gradual natural and elegant process. An annual or semi-annual visit to the plastic surgeon is the best guarantee for a natural result.
