PRP vampire lift
PRP-vampirelift
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for skin rejuvenation
The options in the field of aesthetic skin treatment are becoming increasingly diverse. A relatively new and even chemical-free possibility is the so-called vampire lift, namely the application of PRP (platelet-rich plasma).
In this treatment method, blood taken from your vein is centrifuged and thrombocyte-enriched plasma is extracted within a sterile system for reintroduction as a subcutaneous injection. The treatment is generally carried out without the addition of any chemical additives and is therefore extremely low-risk.
Thrombocytes have a high volume of various growth factors. By means of physiological thrombocyte activation, these are released and have a tissue-regenerating effect. The fibroblasts in the tissue are stimulated and the production of elastin and collagen are activated. The production of hyaluronic acid increases, which binds an increasing amount of water and moisture. In addition, their own mesenchymal stem cells are attracted, which additionally accelerate the natural process of tissue generation and collagen development.
The result is an improved skin texture with revitalised skin. The effects last for up to 2 years. In the case of hair loss (effluvium), PRP frequently displays impressive results! Cell regeneration is stimulated at the hair root and has a positive effect on hair loss.
Treatment Procedure
At least three days (optimally 7 days) before beginning PRP therapy, you should not take any aspirin (ASS), Voltaren, Ibuprofen or similar painkillers or medication for rheumatism (NSAID), since they inhibit the blood platelets. Prior to therapy with PRP, blood is extracted and prepared in a special process. The objective is to separate the red blood cells from the blood plasma. In method similar to mesotherapy, it is then possible to directly inject PRP in pure form or enriched with medications, vitamins or trace elements into the scalp or the hair roots with ultrafine needles. Treatment takes about 45 minutes. A follow-up treatment with PRP stabilises and boosts the successful result.

RFM-radio frequency with microneedling
RFM-RADIO FREQUENCY
WITH MICRONEEDLING
Innovative non-surgical treatment to soften wrinkles and firm skin
Many skin firming and rejuvenating procedures are painful and require extensive downtimes.
Fractionated radio frequency therapy, which uses fine microneedle electrodes, is a gentle and effective alternative. A new technology enables fine micro-electrodes to penetrate the skin and precisely deliver radio frequency energy to the deep dermal layer. As a result of the targeted thermal effect, collagen fibres are firmed and stimulated to enable continued collagen generation. Initial results are visible only a few days after treatment. The skin looks firm and rejuvenated. The new formation of resilient and rejuvenated collagen structures is stimulated for 3-6 months and continues to visibly and sustainably improve skin structure.
The depth and intensity of the treatments can be individually adapted to the treatment regions and your needs. Since the skin is treated in advance with an anaesthetic cream, the application is practically painless. There are no downtimes and you can immediately continue with your daily activities.
Radio frequency with microneedling is also a good alternative to surgical sweat gland suctioning. Using this method, unpleasant excessive underarm perspiration can be sustainably improved.

Fraxel laser
FRACTIONAL LASER THERAPY
(FRAXEL-LASER / FRAXEL-CO2 LASER)
Skin firming and skin rejuvenation
Fractional laser therapy (using the Fraxel laser / Fraxel-CO2 laser) stimulates mature skin to produce youthful collagens, ultimately restoring lost elasticity and resilience. The skin looks fresher and healthier once more. The result is visibly improved skin firming and skin rejuvenation. This type of laser treatment can also reduce scars and stretch marks. To achieve an optimal effect, 3-5 laser sessions at intervals of 4 weeks generally produce suitable results. Treatment is painless and there is no need to make changes to your professional responsibilities or social calendar. Depending on the treatment area, you may experience slight swelling for a period of 1-3 days following treatment.
Permanent hair removal
PERMANENT
HAIR REMOVAL
Epilation – highly effective and nearly painless laser treatment
We use the particularly gentle Alexandrit laser for our epilation treatments. This enables nearly painless and permanent hair removal. Undesirable side effects, like spots on the skin, generally do not occur as a result of treatment. The laser sends its light deep down into the hair root. Here it is transformed into heat to cauterize the hair roots. As a result, the roots are no longer able to produce hairs.
Result: A clearly visible effect can be seen after the first treatment. After an average of 5-7 laser treatments, you can expect undesired hair to be permanently removed. Treatment is gentle to surrounding tissue and the top layers of the skin.
We create an individual treatment concept that is right for you, according to your requirements and following a preliminary examination and a personal consultation. Please contact us to make an appointment.
Tattoo removal
TATTOO REMOVAL
The gentle and safe way to get rid of tattoos
Are you considering tattoo removal with laser? Our medical specialists are expert laser therapists and treat tattoos with the Q-switched Nd-YAG- and the Q-switched KTP lasers. During this treatment, the tattoo ink in the skin is destroyed without damaging the surface of the skin. With each treatment, the tattoos become increasingly paler until they finally disappear completely.
Non-professional tattoos are often removed after one to two sessions, while professionally inked tattoos require significantly more laser sessions. Black ink tattoos can be reliably removed while other colours have a higher degree of difficulty. Unfortunately, our technology (still) does not allow us to successfully treat white or very light green tones.
We create an individual treatment concept that is right for you, according to your requirements and following a preliminary examination and a personal consultation. Please contact us to make an appointment.
The treatment costs will be calculated individually according to the current fee scale for medical practitioners in Germany (GOÄ) and presented to you in a previous treatment agreement. Both statutory and private health insurance policies generally do not cover these costs.
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.
