Cosmetic Dermatology and Laser Medicine

Dermatologists can professionally reduce or remove skin lesions that are cosmetically unsightly. At the same time, we are able to detect dangerous changes (skin tumors) and initiate any necessary treatments. In addition, we will explain the effects and side effects of cosmetic and aesthetic treatments to you.

Offer

Laser medicine and aesthetic dermatology focus on the gentle and highly effective treatment of skin changes that are cosmetically unsightly but medically benign. As a university-affiliated clinic, we offer a wide range of treatment methods based on the latest scientific findings and tailored to the individual skin biology of our patients. At our clinic, we offer a wide range of modern and scientifically proven treatment methods for various cosmetically bothersome skin conditions.

Laser Therapy for Age Spots and Sunspots

Using high-precision laser systems, we treat pigment spots caused by aging or UV exposure. The high-energy light treatment specifically breaks down excess pigmentation, resulting in a more even complexion after just a few weeks and helping to reduce future pigmentation.

Laser Therapy for Blood Vessels (Spider Veins, Hemangiomas, Telangiectasias, Port-Wine Stains)

Fine veins and vascular changes can be selectively closed using modern vascular lasers, while sparing the surrounding skin. The treatment is usually performed on an outpatient basis and is relatively painless—afterward, you can resume your regular skincare routine without restriction following a short recovery period. The result: visible improvement after just a short time.

Hair Removal Using a Flash Lamp Device or Laser

Whether it’s the face, legs, or bikini area—we use intense pulsed light systems or diode lasers to remove unwanted hair in a targeted manner. After several sessions, hair growth is noticeably reduced. It is also particularly suitable for sensitive areas of the skin, as its special cooling feature and advanced technology make the treatment comfortable and safe.

Scar Correction on the Face and Body

We can visibly reduce the appearance of scars —whether caused by acne, injuries, or surgery—using a combination of treatments. The goal is to smooth out the skin’s texture and even out the appearance of scars so that the skin looks more uniform again.

Laser Skin Resurfacing (removal of the upper layers of the skin) for wrinkles and sun-damaged skin

Laser skin resurfacing involves the controlled removal of the outermost layer of skin to stimulate the production of new collagen and significantly improve the skin’s texture and tone. Particularly effective for fine to medium-depth wrinkles, as well as sun-induced skin damage such as rough texture or uneven pigmentation.

Chemical Peel / Fruit Acid Peel for Acne-Prone Skin, Fine Lines, and Pigmentation Issues

A controlled chemical peel removes dead skin cells and stimulates skin regeneration—ideal for treating blemishes or uneven pigmentation. Depending on the depth of the peel, it can both refine the complexion and significantly smooth the skin’s texture. After just a few days, you’ll notice clearer skin with visibly improved skin quality over the long term.

Removal of harmless, cosmetically unsightly skin growths (age spots, skin tags)

Skin growths such as age spots or small benign skin lesions can be easily removed—whether by laser, surgery, or cryotherapy. The procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, are generally relatively painless, and involve minimal downtime.

Botulinum Toxin A Injections for the Treatment of Expression Lines

Expression lines, or dynamic wrinkles—such as forehead lines or crow’s feet—can be smoothed out with targeted injections of botulinum toxin A. The active ingredient relaxes muscle activity, making the skin appear smoother without affecting your natural facial expressions. Ideal for preventing and reducing fine lines, for a relaxed, radiant appearance.

Injecting fillers to treat wrinkles and volume loss

Using modern fillers, we specifically correct volume loss, for example, in the cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, or sunken areas of the face. The injected substances (e.g., hyaluronic acid-based) give the face new contours, ensure smooth transitions, and create harmonious proportions. The results are immediately visible, with natural-looking outcomes and individually tailored corrections.

Information on Cost Coverage

The treatments offered during our office hours are generally intended to correct skin changes that are cosmetically unsightly but do not constitute a medical condition. These are therefore out-of-pocket services that are generally not covered by mandatory health insurance plans.

Exceptions include, among other things, the treatment of port-wine stains, scars from burns, excessive facial hair growth associated with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), and accidental tattoos resulting from accidents. Here, you can request that your health or accident insurance cover the costs.

Before each treatment, you will receive a transparent breakdown of costs as well as a detailed medical consultation regarding the benefits, limitations, and alternatives of the planned therapy.
