Laser Medicine

New laser technology is a tremendous enrichment to dermatology. It has become an integral part in everyday working life in a dermatology practice. It increases the range of treatment of a lot of skin illnesses, and we have successfully applied it for many years. Today there are hardly any side effects so that therapies are, to a large extent, free of risk. As certified doctors we, if necessary, use four different modern laser systems.

Age warts, wrinkles and scars

The CO2 Fraxel Laser EXELO® is a universal device with the help of which we can remove benign skin alterations such as age warts. At the same time it is also used for skin smoothing in the case of acne scars or for the change of pigmentation (cloasma). In aesthetics it serves for skin rejuvenation and skin tightening.

Pigmentation spots and tattoos

Ruby laser CINON® is used to remove benign pigmentation spots and tattoos without leaving any scars. This method is particularly kind to the skin so that unwanted pigments can be precisely eliminated without affecting the surrounding areas. Skin cooling contributes to the patient’s convenience.

Photodynamic therapy – daylight in the practice

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a method of treating white skin cancer or its precursors, the so-called actinic keratoses – without surgery.

With the help of daylight PDT, actinic keratoses can be treated very well and, above all, gently.

By combining a light-activating cream, a so-called photosensitizer, and the light source, the diseased skin cells can be targeted.

To promote the success of controlled daylight PDT, the areas are treated in advance with a fractionated laser treatment. The laser ensures that the skin is “roughened” and can better absorb the active ingredient of the cream as well as the light rays. This is referred to as “Fraxel daylight PDT”.
