Classical dermatology includes the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes - from acute inflammation to chronic skin conditions.

What treatments do we offer?

The focus is on a thorough examination, a clear diagnosis and individually tailored therapy. This includes the treatment of acne, rosacea and pigmentation disorders (melasma) as well as the clarification of skin changes and the prevention and treatment of white and black skin cancer (actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, spinalioma, melanoma).

Collaboration with plastic surgeons

We work closely with our colleagues in plastic surgery to remove dangerous skin lesions, some of which also require reconstruction of the affected area. The aim is to noticeably alleviate symptoms, prevent relapses and maintain long-term skin health - competently, evidence-based and with your personal situation in mind.

Aesthetic dermatology comprises medical treatments that improve the appearance of the skin, reduce skin ageing processes or treat aesthetic skin changes without neglecting medical safety. Typical applications are

• Wrinkle reduction (e.g. Botox, hyaluronic acid)
• Skin rejuvenation and tightening
• Treatment of couperose and dilated veins
• Removal of pigment spots or annoying skin discolouration

All treatments are carried out under specialist medical supervision to minimise risks and ensure a medically sound procedure.

Who can benefit from aesthetic dermatological treatments?

Patients who want a well-groomed complexion or targeted corrections of age or skin changes can benefit from aesthetic dermatology services. People with sun damage, pigmentation spots or couperose can also improve the appearance of their skin with targeted treatments.

Note: Before any aesthetic treatment, especially laser therapies, a specialist skin examination is advisable in order to recognise possible skin changes at an early stage. You can find more information on our page on skin cancer screening and birthmark checks.

How does an aesthetic dermatological consultation work?

Treatment begins with a specialist consultation. Skin type, existing skin changes, wishes and risks are analysed. A dermoscopy or digital skin documentation can be part of the consultation to rule out potential changes. A personalised treatment plan is then drawn up.

Why is specialist care important?

Specialist dermatologists ensure that aesthetic procedures are carried out in a medically safe manner. This includes

• Testing for skin cancer risks before laser procedures
• Selection of the appropriate method for the skin type and indication
• Professional aftercare and monitoring of side effects

What should patients bear in mind?

Patients should have realistic expectations of results and disclose any existing skin changes before starting treatment. Regular skin checks are particularly important when lasers or invasive procedures are used.

A specialist skin cancer screening is recommended before any aesthetic laser treatment.
