Which types of wrinkles are distinguished?
Facial wrinkles: Wrinkles caused by the facial muscles (muscle tension). This includes the so-called frown line. It arises vertically between the eyebrows and is often interpreted as a grim look.
Gravity wrinkles (orthostatic wrinkles): Wrinkles that occur as a result of the aging process in which the skin and connective tissue become less firm. They show up primarily as sagging cheeks and in the area of the chin and neck.
Wrinkles in the corners of the mouth: The wrinkles in the corners of the mouth extend the corners of the mouth downwards and give a very sad expression. They are therefore also called bitterness lines.
Perioral folds: Wrinkles that form around the mouth.
Crow's Feet: Small wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and on the temples. They usually arise from years of squinting the eyes (e.g. when laughing). These wrinkles appear very friendly, but some people do not appreciate these wrinkles
Actinic wrinkles: Wrinkles that develop on the face and neck, among other things, as a result of years of exposure to UV rays from the sun and solarium.
Nasolabial wrinkles: Nasolabial wrinkles run from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth on both sides. They are also known as bunny lines.
Forehead lines: Forehead lines are transverse lines on the forehead. They arise from raising the eyebrows.
Frown lines: Frown lines are vertical lines on the forehead or between the eyebrows. The wrinkle makes the affected person look angry, hence the name. The frown line can be treated very well!
Chin lines: These are small dents and furrows.
What is the approach to aesthetic medicine in our practice?
A holistic approach is very important to us. Dr. Bisschoff has worked as a trainer for doctors and therapists in the field of aesthetic medicine in Germany and Switzerland for several years. Through this work, he knows how important it is to not only look at individual wrinkles. Prof. Dr. Rzany is a well-known doctor in the field of aesthetic medicine and brings a lot of practical and scientific experience to the table. His stated aim is for the patients to look rested and relaxed and not artificial.
But also, all other dermatologists in our center already have significant prior experience in the field of aesthetics and receive additional training from our most experienced colleagues. This enables all dermatologists in our center to assist you in slowing down the signs of aging.
The first step is a detailed analysis of your skin type and any existing problems supported by modern tools for measuring your face. Then a comprehensive program is discussed, which begins with skincare and extends to nutritional supplements and invasive methods.
My complexion is pale, I look tired, but I don't want to look fake in any way. Is there anything you can do about it?
Yes, of course! Many patients come to the office with this same dilemma. Depending on age and desires, there are now many options for aesthetic treatment, including combining several procedures such as chemical peeling and micro needling.
For some time now, we have been offering CoolPeel® specifically for patients with this demand. This treatment involves the use of the CO2 laser, typically resulting in only 1-3 days of downtime. We achieve a fresher skin appearance with minimal downtime. We would be happy to advise you on which treatment is best suited for you.
What procedures are available?
Depending on the key issues, we discuss every possible option with our patients. For a fresh, youthful look and for the treatment of melasma, we like to use chemical peels. Fractional erbium laser or micro needling is often used for scar treatment. Mesotherapy is ideal for introducing active substances into the skin. We also offer classic medical wrinkle treatment and volume augmentation for lips or cheeks for example.
The wide range of treatments we offer also includes a saliva analysis and a vital nutrient analysis. In this option, a full list of what is lacking in the body is detected, and then we will discuss how the possible deficiencies can be supplemented.

Will I have to take time off work?
Depending on the procedure, some "down time" might be necessary. We do offer a "lunch time" option which is available for micro needling and chemical peeling procedures. As a rule, you should not need to take time from work. Optimal care before and after treatment also stimulates healing.
Especially with the CoolPeel® laser treatment, there are short downtime periods, which is why many patients choose to undergo treatment on a Friday and can already resume their daily activities on Monday without any skin redness.
How much does treatment cost?
You can find an overview of the cost of the treatments we offer under Services. However, these prices are indicative and can vary in individual cases.
Do you offer any treatments only available in your practice?
Yes. Through his work in the field of training, Dr. Bisschoff has often been one of the few doctors with priority access to new treatment methods. Prof. Dr. Rzany is a renowned doctor in the field of aesthetics. Among other things, he wrote a well-known article on the subject of side effects from fillers (Understanding, Avoiding, and Managing Severe Filler Complications). He has decades of experience combined with scientific foundation.
Our particular focus is on new combinations of aesthetic treatments in order to best meet individual requirements. In addition, we enjoy treating specific areas of the body, such as dark circles or bags under the eyes, and we have achieved excellent results in these areas. We also offer special solutions for Depigmentation (reduction spots on the face and neck).
What do I have to consider after having an aesthetic treatment?
Depending on the treatment, the necessary aftercare is discussed. It is important to avoid the sun after peels, micro needlings and wrinkle treatment, so the ideal time for this type of treatment is in autumn or winter.
Likewise, it is advised to avoid places where concentrations of germs can be easily found (swimming pools, saunas, fitness studios) immediately after the treatment.
We will discuss the correct conduct in detail regarding care afterwards depending on the agreed course of treatment.
