Pigment spots and age spots

PIGMENT SPOTS
AND AGE SPOTS

Painless and permanent removal

They start out like normal freckles. But at some point, these spots that typically appear on the face or the back of the hands give away your age at first glance. In most cases these spots are nothing but harmless pigment densification (so-called Lentigo benigna). Although there are a number of cosmetic camouflage and bleaching creams on the market, these often do not live up to expectations. We treat pigment spots (pigmented lesions) and age spots using state-of-the-art medical laser technology. The laser treatment with the q-switched KTP laser (INTROS laser) is an effective alternative in the treatment of pigment spots and age spots that has minimal side effects. The laser impulses destroy the accumulation of pigment without damaging the skin surface and the spots disappear within a few weeks. The treatment is virtually painless and scar-free.


Skin surgery

Skin surgery

Modern surgical centre

In addition to the traditional treatment of skin disorders and allergies as well as aesthetic dermatology, we also perform surgical procedures like the treatment of white skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma), the removal of malignant tumours, non-malignant growths or moles. We perform dermatological procedures according to the latest medical and technical findings in our certified Surgery Centre. For most procedures, only a local anaesthetic is required. In cooperation with a team of anaesthesiologists, operations can also be performed under administration of general anaesthesia.

We cooperate with the best addresses in the city for all your surgical lifting needs.
