Wrinkle Treatment
Effective skin rejuvenation – Wrinkle Treatment
Over the years, the skin loses elastic tissue (collagen) and its resilience. Specialists call this elastosis. This is particularly evident on the face and results in the formation of wrinkles, slightly rippled skin texture and a tired-looking facial expression. Highly typical of elastosis are the radial lines that form around the mouth (pleated wrinkles or smoker’s wrinkles).
An effective method for treating lines and wrinkles is fractional laser therapy (using the Fraxel laser / Fraxel-CO2 laser).
Hydrafacial®
HYDRAFACIAL®
This ultra modern and non-invasive treatment concept in the field of skin renewal and anti-aging was developed in Los Angeles.
Highly effective serums are introduced into the skin using special treatment attachments. The patented Vortex System removes dead skin cells and leaves your face deeply cleansed. The skin is then nourished with antioxidants, vitamins and hyaluron. Light therapy and lymph drainage complete the treatment regimen.
Hydrafacial is suitable for all skin types and helps to achieve an irritation-free, clear and beautiful complexion.

COSMETIC
TREATMENT
OF ACNE
Peelings and microdermabrasion
A team of experienced medical cosmeticians awaits you at Dermatologie des Westens. Cosmetic treatments are performed in the pleasant atmosphere of the practice, right down the hall from your doctor’s office.
Classical manual therapy removes blemishes and relieves inflammations. Chemical peeling and “microdermabrasion” accelerates skin regeneration and banishes unsightly spots, pigmentations and acne scars. Skin care products and micronutrients have a calming effect on the skin, purify and promote regeneration.
Our highly-trained cosmetic team provides you with individual care and cooperates with you and the treating physician to create your treatment plan for a speedy recovery and a glowing complexion.
We work exclusively with high-quality brand-name products from leading manufacturers. We primarily use the acne therapy products from Ästhetico® and Skinceuticals®.

Rosacea
Rosacea
“Just a little bit red”
Are you tired of hearing when people comment on the “healthy” colour of your face and have you come to the conclusion that your blemishes are no longer a sign of eternal youth?
You are probably suffering from a type of rosacea, also known as couperose . This inflammatory skin disease often looks like adolescent acne. Only the correct diagnosis leads to proper treatment and permanent improvement.
The experienced specialists at Dermatologie des Westens are experts in treating this chronic disease. Treatment frequently begins with cream medication (rosacea cream) and/or pills. In the mid- and long-term, special medical-cosmetic treatments and a change in diet often make sense. Our specially trained and experienced medical cosmetician will support you in all relevant concerns. Even redness that has existed for years and visibly enlarged facial blood vessels magically disappear when treated with modern lasers.
Most of the abovementioned treatments are not covered by public health insurance plans. Additional out of pocket costs will usually apply for optimal treatment.

Peeling
Peeling
Anti-ageing and treatment of acne
Acne and blemished skin can be effectively treated with a peeling. There are various types of peelings:
Jet peeling: This deep peel is an innovation from the USA, which is exceptionally gentle, painless and effective. DERMATOLOGIE des WESTENS is now also using jet peeling to treat acne, scars and wrinkles. The application rejuvenates the skin texture in no time, by reducing lines and improving the complexion.
Fruit acid peeling: Fruit acid reduces the cohesion of scaly, dead skin therefore loosening them for easy removal. It has a moisture-regulating effect and stimulates cellular metabolism. Treatments are given bi-weekly over a period of 2 to 3 months. During this time, the concentration of the acid is continuously increased. The treatment is generally well-tolerated and can even be performed during your lunch break. That’s why it is also known as the “lunch peeling”. Fruit acids are particularly effective for patients with acne and pigmenting.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA): TCA peelings are used for medium-deep and deep peelings. Their application is used to treat wrinkles and extensive pigmentations. The peeling effect is so intense, that you will want to plan a downtime of approx. 1 week. But the result is well-worth it. Generally, 2-4 sessions in intervals of 2 weeks are performed. Local anaesthesia is required, usually in the form of a numbing cream.
Microdermabrasion: This is an alternative to chemical peelings. Innovative state-of-the-art technology enables a particularly gentle and effective mechanical peeling. An extremely fine quartz sand is sprayed on to the skin and immediately removed again by suctioning. This treatment is especially suited for treating discolorations/pigmentations and blemished skin. All types of skin can be treated; even darker complexions and treatment can also be performed during the summer months. Microdermabrasion is an ideal preparation and follow-up treatment for a chemical peeling.
Some additional tips:
- In the shower, massage your upper arms, thighs and buttocks with a body brush, a coarse sponge or a peeling solution. After drying your skin, rub on some lotion or cream containing urea.
- On vacation, you can treat yourself to a completely natural peeling by rubbing your skin with fine beach sand and subsequently creaming the cleaned skin.
- The right peeling for you and the number of required treatments will be determined in a comprehensive and individual consultation, based on the diagnosis and skin type.
Lymph drainage
LYMPH DRAINAGE
(CONNECTIVE
TISSUE MASSAGE)
Treatment of face, neck and décolleté
Lymph drainage or connective tissue massage is a treatment to promote the outflow of lymphatic fluid from the face, neck and décolleté, and mobilises the removal of fluid deposits and waste. Applied regularly, the natural lymph passages are sustainably strengthened. Unsightly bags beneath the eyes, the so-called lachrymal sacks and inflammatory redness are gently relieved.
Radiesse®
AUGMENTATION
WITH RADIESSE®
Stimulation of the natural skin collagen
Our dermal cells produce increasingly less natural hyaluronic acid and collagen fibres with age. The result is dehydration and diminishing cell renewal. The elasticity of the skin decreases, deeper wrinkles “carve” themselves into the face. The fatty tissue of the subcutaneous layer also undergoes changes. Deficits in volume consequently lead to the formation of sunken cheeks.
Radiesse® counteracts this process. In contrast to treatments with hyaluronic acid fillers (see also fillers), it not only effectively eliminates deep wrinkles, but also fills out sunken cheeks. The special gel matrix in Radiesse® provides an immediately visible effect, while finest calcium microspheres effectuate the targeted stimulation of the skin’s natural collagen production. Facial contours are toned and your skin gains new volume. In a single sitting, the youthful V-form of your face is restored with just a few needle pricks.
Radiesse® is one of the so-called temporary implants. Numerous clinical studies have proven that the body completely eliminates the active substances injected over the course of time. At the same time, Radiesse® stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production. Due to the effectiveness and safety of this treatment, Radiesse® is also one of the few dermal fillers approved for use in the USA.
Sculptra®
Sculptra®
Anti-ageing through natural production of new collagen
With age, our skin gradually loses its resilience and vitality. This is caused by external influences like UV rays, stress and nicotine as well as internal factors, which include the natural ageing process and genetic predisposition. Natural collagen production decreases. The supporting, elastic fibre net of our connective tissue is subject to tearing, muscle and bone structures change, sagging occurs in the skin. Fatty deposits are repositioned and wander toward the lower half of the face due to gravitational force. The facial proportions change and the once clear, youthfully taut contours become blurred.
Using Sculptra®, this situation is remedied gradually and efficiently. The poly-L lactic acid is injected under the skin and stimulates the production of new collagen. Treatment involves a minimum of three sessions in four-week intervals. Lost volume is restored and the signs of facial ageing are sustainably corrected. The result lasts for a minimum of two up to four years, after which it is slowly resorbed.
Sculptra® improves the elasticity and density of the tissue and returns the skin to its former firmness. This natural method will bring back your fresh, glowing complexion. Excellent results can also be achieved with the treatment of deep lines in the décolleté area.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy
Gentle rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid, vitamins and minerals
Mesotherapy combines elements of neural- and pharmaceutical therapies with acupuncture. The gentle method is ideal for rejuvenating facial skin as well as neck, décolleté and hands. Each patient becomes an individual hyaluronic acid-enriched combination of substances comprised of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. Using barely perceptible mini-injections, we administer this unique “cocktail” in those areas where the skin is visibly aged. This method improves microcirculation of the skin – the supply of nutrients and the removal of waste products. The skin is thereby stimulated to build new collagens. The procedure is virtually painless. To achieve the best possible results, a minimum of three sessions are necessary.
Our professional mesotherapy treatments are completely safe. You can return to your daily business directly following treatment. We recommend combining mesotherapy with other cosmetic treatments, for example peelings. We also create effective combinations of active ingredients to treat hair loss and cellulite.
Your personalised rejuvenation therapy lets you look youthful and rested.
