Stretch marks
Stretch marks (Striae distensae) are deep tears in the subcutaneous tissue that are caused by excessive stretching during pregnancy, rapid growth or weight gain.
Today, they can be improved to around 50-60% through processes such as focused ultrasound (HIFU).
Treatment details
Since the duration of use and the costs vary greatly, treatment planning and cost estimates are always carried out after a detailed examination and consultation.
Cellulite
Due to special anatomical conditions in the fatty tissue directly under the skin in women, cellulite also occurs in slim people.
For treatment by improving adipose tissue, we use focused ultrasound (HIFU), often in combination with the lipolysis procedure.

HYPERHIDROSIS (EXCESSIVE SWEATING)
Sweating is a natural process that serves to protect the body from overheating. Excessive sweat production (hyperhidrosis) occurs when much more sweat is produced than necessary. This can be extremely stressful for the patient. In particular, very sweaty hands and armpits, an unpleasant body odor and visible stains on clothing are common problems.
Botulinum toxin is a simple, safe and very effective treatment method as it stops sweat production for 6 months after just one treatment.
Areas of application:
Heavily sweating hands and feet
Forehead sweat
Armpit wetness
LIPOLYSIS (FAT-WAY SYRINGE)
Lipolysis can be used to specifically and, above all, permanently dissolve fat deposits without the need for accompanying weight loss. The active ingredient used is phosphatidylcholine (PPC), better known as lecithin, obtained from soybeans, which has been used in medicine as a liver protection preparation and as a dietary supplement for many decades.
During a treatment, this lecithin is injected with ultra-fine needles through the skin areas previously numbed with anesthetic cream into the fat depot. The fat cells swell and burst. The fat released in this way is then slowly (over weeks) transported naturally via the lymphatic system into the liver, where it is broken down as normal.
After an initial swelling of the treated area, which can last 1 - 2 weeks, the fat cells slowly break down so that the success of the treatment can only be assessed after 6 - 8 weeks. However, this longer process has the advantage that with lipolysis, in contrast to surgical liposuction, the overlying skin has enough time to regress together with the fat deposits without sagging. At the same time, the use of lecithin leads to an additional tightening of the skin itself. Another advantage of lipolysis in comparison to liposuction is the fact that, when used correctly, there is no denting in the tissue. As a rule, only smaller anatomical regions are treated.
