THE HAGUE — Cosmetique Totale, a portfolio company owned by investment company BB Capital Investments, has taken over injectables specialist Van Lennep Kliniek. With the acquisition, Cosmetique Totale adds knowledge and expertise in the growing market of cosmetic botox and filler treatments to its services.
Cosmetique Totale is the market leader in the Benelux in skin and laser therapy and, with the support of investment company BB Capital, has added the three branches of injectables specialist Van Lennep Kliniek to the group after announcing it would also enter the European market with a multi-million dollar loan from the international private debt fund Kartesia a few weeks ago. The acquisition marks the twelfth add-on acquisition since BB Capital acquired a majority stake in Cosmetique Totale in 2020.
Susan van Koeveringe, Managing Partner BB Capital Investments: “The market for injectables, such as botox and filler treatments, is a rapidly growing segment in the European cosmetology sector. With the acquisition of Van Lennep Kliniek, Cosmetique Totale is also able to enter this market and thus further expand its services. This makes cosmetic treatments more widely accessible and of higher quality. '
Van Lennep Kliniek is a specialist in injectable treatments and was founded 15 years ago by cosmetic doctor KNMG Ludy Holst. A total of 20 employees work at the offices in The Hague and Oegstgeest, including cosmetic doctors, a dermatologist and plastic surgeon and certified skin therapists. The clinic focuses on injectables and skin improvement.
Ludy Holst, director and founder of Van Lennep Kliniek: “It is a wonderful step to be able to offer an even more complete set of treatments, and the new combination has everything to do so. The fact that we join Cosmetique Totale gives us more strength to further improve our care provision. Together with my specialized team, I look forward to using our medical knowledge and skills to put high-quality and safe treatments on the map in a much larger and international context. '
