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.

Skin cancer


SCREENING FOR SKIN CANCER AND
SKIN CANCER TREATMENT

Early detection is crucial!

The organ that is most frequently afflicted with tumours is our skin. Tumour diseases of the skin are on the rise. Ultraviolet light is thereby the most significant contributing factor for the development of malignant tumours, white and black skin cancer. Today, increased exposure to the sun begins early with childhood leisure activities. Early detection of skin tumours can save lives.

What we offer you:

Screening for skin cancer with incidence light microscopy: This is a particularly thorough examination of the entire skin organ from head to toe. This naturally includes the analysis of all pigmented lesions using incidence light microscopy.

Complete check with incidence light microscopy and videography: In addition to our screening for skin cancer, this also includes photographing and examining conspicuous moles and skin changes with computer-aided microscopy (FotoFinder®). This procedure offers optimal diagnostic security in the progressive evaluation of pigmented skin changes and moles. Even the smallest changes can be identified. Skin cancer and its pre-stages are detected at the earliest possible moment.

  • Electronic data storage enables a detailed comparison to previous findings for examinations at a later date.
  • Even minimal optical changes of moles are easy to detect and can be reliably evaluated by the dermatologist.
  • Video documentation reliably prevents the unnecessary removal of moles.

We recommend a complete annual check to everyone of 18 years of age and up, especially those with moles and pigmented lesions.

At Dermatologie des Westens, preventive medical screenings are invoiced as private medical treatments. These costs are unable to be reimbursed by statutory health insurance policies. Private health insurance plans generally reimburse the costs in full.

 

An overview of the costs:

Screening for skin cancer with incidence light microscopy: ca. € 48.00

Complete check with incidence light microscopy and videography: ca. € 80.00 to € 100.00

The fee for medical services is individually calculated according to the current fee scale for medical practitioners in Germany (GOÄ) and depends on the specific services rendered.

Most of the treatments are not covered by statutory health insurance. For your optimal treatment plan, please plan to be invoiced for the additional costs that these insurance policies do not cover.

Our philosophy: There is a treatment for every type of acne!


Microneedling

Microneedling

Treatment of acne scars, stretch marks and ageing skin

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) helps to maintain youthful, fresh-looking skin and significantly improve existing irregularities in the complexion. The specially formed microneedles penetrate the skin and stimulate the skin’s regeneration from deep within the collagen tissue.

Medical microneedling:

This treatment is performed in the practice under local anaesthesia with the objective of treating visible signs of skin ageing, stretch marks and acne scars.

Cosmetic microneedling:

With the use of a needle roller suited for home-based application, the top layer of the skin is limbered. This enables, for example, hyaluronic acid serum to deeply infiltrate the skin. The treatment does not require pain relief.

Optimal treatment results are achieved by the combination of medical and subsequent cosmetic microneedling along with supplementary treatments like mesotherapy, chemical peelings and treatment with filler.

An improvement can usually be seen after the first treatment. Treatment intervals of 6-8 weeks are recommended.

Including deep cleansing, enzyme peeling, anaesthetic cream treatment, needling, formula-filled ampoule, ultrasonic treatment, collagen mask, facial care.

The actual fee will be calculated individually according to the current fee scale for medical practitioners in Germany (GOÄ) and depends on actual effort required.


Skin Booster

SKINBOOSTER FOR
IMPROVED SKIN QUALITY

The moisture-binding capacity of our skin decreases with age. The skin can appear rough and dull and lose its vitality due to failing resiliency. A series of treatments with specially formulated hyaluronic acid can help restore and sustainably maintain skin texture that is nurtured and dewy. The so-called Skin Booster contains a stabilised hyaluronic acid formula that is injected over an extensive area into the deepest layers of the skin. The stabilised formula consequently serves as a moisture-retaining depot for the structure of the skin. In contrast to the superficial application of facial creams, this provides the skin with optimal care.

The unique and highly effective Restylane Skin Booster concept not only reduces signs of premature skin ageing, it also significantly improves the structure of mature skin.

The treatment with Restylane Skin Booster has an extensive skin-hydrating effect that lasts up to one year. This differentiates the treatment from that of hyaluron fillers, which are predominantly suited to fill lines and enhance volume.

The result of the treatment is skin with maximum resilience, structure, firmness and hydration. It supplies the deeper skin layers with sufficient moisture. This consequently leads to radiant-looking skin and has a positive effect on skin quality.

Restylane Skin Booster provides a wide range of treatment options for young or mature skin – they are suited for face, neck, décolleté, knees, elbows and hands. The structure-improving Skin Booster can also benefit very dry or UV-damaged skin.

In order to achieve the best possible results, the application of Skin Booster can even be combined with other therapies like, for example, laser or hyaluronic acid fillers. The effectiveness and the excellent aesthetic results of treatments using Restylane Skin Booster have been documented in extensive clinical studies.
The full therapeutic effect of Restylane Skin Booster is achieved in a step-by-step process that requires several treatment sessions.

The Restoration Phase

The restoration phase should begin with three restoration treatments in intervals of two to four weeks. Effects of Restylane Skin Booster can usually be seen directly after the first treatment, with full results achieved only after two to three restoration treatments.

The Touch-Up

For long-lasting results after improved skin quality is achieved in the restoration phase, and according to the type of treatment and condition of the skin, we recommend about two touch-up treatments per year.

The advantages of Restylane Skin Booster at a glance

• Visible and long-lasting improvement of skin quality can be attained for a period of
up to one year, by optimising skin hydration, smoothness and resilience.
• Suitable for men and women of all skin types, and for both young and mature skin
