My journey of transformation

As a cosmetic doctor, you commit yourself to transformation every day. But what does that mean for Drs. Leanne Wong?

2020 has been an eventful year for everyone.
That is also the year that I took the step to start my own practice. This has been a gigantic transformation to open a new business in this uncertain time.
Giving someone an extra push for better self-confidence. I guide my clients in this.
It is important to me to know the reasons for a cosmetic treatment and what the expectations are so that I can help the client as best as possible.

I stay close to myself and always go for quality. I have to stand behind the treatment and I follow my feeling in this. For me, it is a must that it should remain natural. Sometimes I have had to refuse someone because the result may not quite fit or is not entirely possible. This is a rewarding profession, because of a small intervention someone can feel completely different.


On a personal level, I have gone through several transformations. I was born in Curaçao. I always knew I would work in the medical field. Once the time had come, I moved to the Netherlands to study Medicine in order to become a surgeon. At the end of my studies, I became interested in plastic surgery. Reconstruction and cosmetic surgery fascinated me enormously. I have two years of experience in general surgery and four years in plastic surgery, spread over several hospitals. My goal was to specialize in plastic surgery. Unfortunately, this did not work, because there was little space. There are only fifteen places per year to participate in this, and there was also a lot of competition. I found this very disappointing

My last mentor gave me the golden tip to register for the cosmetic medicine course. This was a new specialization. I belonged to the first group in the Netherlands to have completed this training.


Before Cosmopolitan Clinic Amsterdam, my clinic got off the ground, I worked as a freelancer to maintain security. Also to get an idea of ​​whether I could run my own clinic.
In the past five years, I have become more aware of the people around me, I have developed enormously privately and professionally. I became a mother of two children, married, and started my own clinic. My family is very important. A big advantage of running my own clinic is that I no longer have night shifts.
After a year of Cosmopolitan Clinic Amsterdam, I have learned a lot. There is an increasing line of homeworkers who have become very aware of their appearance, this group is now my client. So many possibilities and new ideas, if I have succeeded in this very difficult time, then I can handle anything.

Waarom de herfst hét moment is om te starten met peelings of huidverbetering

door drs. Leanne Wong • 7 oktober 2025
Waarom de herfst hét moment is om te starten met peelings of huidverbetering  De zomer heeft ons huid vaak flink op de proef gesteld: zon, warmte, zeezout en airco kunnen leiden tot pigmentvlekjes, een doffe teint of vroegtijdige veroudering. Daarom is de herfst de ideale periode om te starten met peelings of huidverbeterende behandelingen . Waarom herfst? Minder zonblootstelling: in de herfst is de UV-index lager, waardoor je huid beter kan herstellen na een peeling. Herstel na de zomer: pigment en zonneschade kunnen direct worden aangepakt. Boost voor de winter: een peeling stimuleert collageen en maakt de huid sterker tegen koude en droge lucht. Welke behandelingen zijn ideaal? Chemische peelings: verminderen pigment, fijne lijntjes en geven een frisse glow. SkinPen Microneedling: stimuleert collageen en verbetert huidstructuur. Skinboosters (zoals Profhilo of Belotero Revive): hydrateren diep en herstellen balans. Thuisverzorging als aanvulling Combineer behandelingen altijd met goede producten. Denk aan een retinol (zoals de Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 van iS Clinical) voor celvernieuwing, en uiteraard een dagelijkse SPF . 👉 Plan een intake bij onze huidspecialisten of artsen om samen te bepalen welke aanpak het beste past bij jouw huiddoelen. Why Autumn is the Best Time to Start Peels and Skin Rejuvenation Summer can take a toll on our skin: sun, heat, saltwater, and air conditioning often leave behind pigmentation spots, dullness, or early signs of aging. That’s why autumn is the ideal season to start peels or skin rejuvenation treatments . Why autumn? Less sun exposure: UV levels are lower, so your skin can safely recover after a peel. Post-summer repair: it’s the perfect moment to target pigmentation and sun damage. Boost before winter: peels stimulate collagen and prepare your skin to handle cold and dry air. Which treatments work best now? Chemical peels: reduce pigmentation, fine lines, and restore radiance. SkinPen Microneedling: stimulates collagen and improves skin texture. Skinboosters (like Profhilo or Belotero Revive): deeply hydrate and restore balance. Homecare for extra results Always combine your treatments with the right skincare. A retinol (such as iS Clinical’s award-winning Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3) supports cell turnover, while a daily SPF keeps your results protected. 👉 Book a consultation with our specialists or doctors to create a personalized plan that fits your skin goals.

Versuikerde huid? Zo rem je huid veroudering van binnenuit

door Leanne . • 4 juli 2025
Wist je dat suiker niet alleen invloed heeft op je energie en gewicht, maar ook op hoe je huid eruitziet? Een proces genaamd glycosylatie (of "glycation" in het Engels) zorgt ervoor dat overtollige suikers zich binden aan collageen en elastine. Dit zijn twee belangrijke bouwstenen van een stevige en jonge huid. Het resultaat? Verslapping, rimpels en een doffe teint. In deze blog leggen we uit wat glycosylatie is, hoe je het kunt remmen via voeding én welke producten van iS Clinical je huid kunnen helpen herstellen en beschermen. Wat is glycosylatie precies? Glycosylatie is een natuurlijk proces waarbi j suikermoleculen zich binden aan eiwitten in je lichaam. Hierdoor ontstaan schadelijke verbindingen, ook wel AGE’s (Advanced Glycation End Products) genoemd. Deze AGE’s zorgen ervoor dat je huidstructuur stijver, brozer en minder elastisch wordt. Met andere woorden: je huid veroudert van binnenuit, vaak zonder dat je het doorhebt. Hoe herken je een ‘versuikerde’ huid? Rimpels en fijne lijntjes die dieper worden Verslapping van de huid, vooral rond kaaklijn en ogen Vale of gelige teint Minder elasticiteit en glans Wat kun je doen via voeding? Glycosylatie wordt versterkt door een hoge bloedsuikerspiegel. Gelukkig kun je veel doen met je voedingspatroon: Beperk snelle suikers –> zoals frisdrank, koekjes en wit brood Eet antioxidantenrijk –> zoals bessen, kurkuma, groene bladgroenten Kies vezels & eiwitten –> voor een stabiele bloedsuikerspiegel Drink voldoende water –> voor hydratatie en celvernieuwing De oplossing van iS Clinical bij huidveroudering door suiker Bij Cosmopolitan Clinic werken we met iS Clinical vanwege de hoge concentratie actieve ingrediënten en klinische effectiviteit. Deze producten helpen de huid te herstellen en beschermen tegen schade door glycosylatie. Aanbevolen iS Clinical producten: 1.

Here’s How to Slow Down Aging from Within Did you know that sugar doesn’t just affect your energy or weight? It can als o accelerate how your skin ages? A biological process called glycation (or glycosylation) causes excess sugar to bind to collagen and elastin. The two proteins that keep your skin firm and youthful. The result? Sagging, wrinkles, and a dull complexion. In this blog, we explain what glycation is, how to reduce it through nutrition, and which iS Clinical pro ducts help support and protect your skin. What is glycation? Glycation is a natural process where sugar molecules attach to proteins in the body, forming harmful compounds called AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products). These AGEs stiffen and weaken your collagen and elastin fibers, leading to skin that’s less elastic and more prone to wrinkles. Signs your skin is affected by glycation: Fine lines and deeper wrinkles Loss of firmness, especially around jawline and eyes A dull or yellowish complexion Reduced glow and elasticity What you can do through nutrition: Glycation is strongly influenced by high blood sugar levels. Here’s how to fight back from the inside: Limit refined sugars –> like soda, sweets, white bread Eat antioxidant-rich foods –> such as berries, turmeric, green veggies Go for fiber and protein –> to keep blood sugar stable Drink plenty of water –> to hydrate and support cell renewal How iS Clinical helps your skin recover At Cosmopolitan Clinic, we love working with iS Clinical because of their clinically proven active ingredients. Their formulas help repair and protect the skin from glycation-related damage. Recommended iS Clinical products: 1. Super Serum Advance+ Contains stabilized Vitamin C and copper tripeptides ➡ Stimulates collagen production ➡ Protects against free radical damage 2. GenexC Serum Packed with 20% Vitamin C and powerful antioxidants ➡ Helps protect cellular DNA ➡ Supports skin elasticity and renewal 3. Reparative Moisture Emulsion Hydrating + barrier-repair formula with Extremozymes® ➡ Strengthens skin barrier ➡ Slows down visible aging 4. Youth Intensive Crème Luxurious night cream with hyaluronic acid and peptides ➡ Deeply hydrates and firms ➡ Reduces signs of sugar-induced aging Final Thoughts Healthy skin starts from within. By combining smart nutrition with targeted skincare, you can significantly reduce the impact of glycation. Want personal advice?
