Early Detection: The Best Defense Against Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is curable if detected early enough. The greatest risk factors are excessive sun exposure and genetic predisposition. We keep an eye on your skin with you. For this purpose, we use state-of-the-art ATBM (Automatic Total Body Mapping) technology.

Did you know?
Over two-thirds of all melanomas develop on healthy skin, not from existing moles. For optimal safety, it is important to examine not only individual moles but also the entire skin surface. The benefits of computer-assisted ATBM are evident: During regular follow-up examinations, we photographically document your complete skin appearance. Once captured, images can be compared to new ones repeatedly. This allows us to visualize even the smallest changes at an early stage!

The "map" of your skin: Automatic Total Body Mapping
Imagine your skin as a landscape. With Automatic Total Body Mapping (ATBM), we systematically and long-term capture the entire skin surface. Using a high-tech system, we create a "body map" of your moles and photograph you from head to toe and from all sides in just a few minutes. Thanks to specialized software and artificial intelligence, we obtain an immediate comprehensive evaluation of new and changed skin features. Your data is encrypted and treated confidentially.

Individual analysis of moles: Epiluminescence microscopy
We additionally examine suspicious moles using epiluminescence microscopy. With a special video epiluminescence microscope, we capture highly magnified images of your moles, providing significant insight into their structure. This helps determine if a mole is suspicious. You can follow the completely painless examination on the screen.

Before therapy comes diagnosis. With contemporary methods, I identify acute and chronic skin conditions and then develop effective treatments in collaboration with patients.

Psoriasis (Plaque Psoriasis)
Psoriasis is an inflammatory, non-contagious disease. Characteristic symptoms include reddish, scaly skin lesions. The chronic condition typically occurs in flare-ups. It is not curable, but the consequences can be significantly alleviated through a combination of medication, exercise, and diet.

Hand Eczema
Hand eczema is accompanied by itching and sometimes painful skin changes. This non-contagious inflammation of the hands can occur acutely, subacutely, or chronically and is treated with tailored medication for the respective type.

Acne
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions worldwide. Typical symptoms include inflammatory skin changes such as pimples, blackheads, papules, or pustules. Acne usually occurs during puberty and subsides afterward. The therapy depends on the type of acne and requires long-term monitoring.

Perioral Dermatitis
Perioral dermatitis, also known as mouth rash, is an inflammatory skin rash on the face. It often develops around the mouth and primarily affects women between the ages of 16 and 45. The cause is unknown, but the condition is frequently associated with the use of excessive or unsuitable cosmetic and skincare products for the skin type. Perioral dermatitis is treated with a so-called zero therapy, which involves completely avoiding skincare products and cosmetics on the facial skin. In some cases, topical antibiotics can be used.

Hair Disorders
Hair loss and hair structure damage can have various causes, including stress, unbalanced nutrition, vitamin D and iron deficiencies, or hormonal changes. The most visible symptom is usually hair loss beyond the normal range. Depending on the cause, different treatments can help, ranging from topical treatments such as hair solutions and oral vitamin supplements to PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and mesotherapy.

Nail Disorders
Nail dystrophy, characterized by changes in the nail structure, can occur at any age and manifest with various symptoms, such as brittle nails, longitudinal splitting (onychorrhexis), or thickened nail plates (onychogryphosis). Most nail infections are fungal infections (onychomycosis), but bacterial and viral infections can also occur. A detailed diagnosis is necessary to develop the appropriate therapy.

Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Approximately one to two percent of the population suffer from hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating. There can be diverse causes, which are identified through comprehensive diagnostics to determine the most effective treatment. Excessive sweating in the axilla (armpit) can be effectively treated with Botox injections.

Actinic Keratosis
Actinic keratoses are reddish or, less commonly, skin-colored rough patches that firmly adhere to the skin surface. They are considered precursors to squamous cell carcinoma (non-melanoma skin cancer) or very early-stage squamous cell carcinoma and should be promptly treated. Several therapies are possible, including topical creams (such as diclofenac) or, depending on the extent, photodynamic therapy (PDT), daylight therapy, or ablative laser for small areas.

Wart Conditions
Warts are benign skin growths that occur in various body areas. Caused by viruses, they are contagious and widespread. Most warts are harmless, but they can be bothersome, unattractive, and psychologically distressing. We remove them in our practice using laser or cryotherapy.

Allergy Tests
Allergies refer to abnormal immune system reactions to harmless environmental substances (allergens). To determine which allergens the body reacts to, I offer allergy tests. Based on the results, Based on the results, the further procedure is then coordinated.

Neurodermatitis
Neurodermatitis is a chronic, non-contagious skin condition. Typical symptoms include skin rash and intense itching. Neurodermatitis often occurs in children. It often improves over the years and may disappear temporarily or even completely.

Some skin conditions require outpatient procedures. For this purpose, my practice is equipped with a modern operating room. Prior to the procedure, I discuss the options with you and ensure a calming and pleasant atmosphere. The procedures are performed under local anesthesia, which is hardly noticeable. In outpatient surgery, I take into account not only the medically necessary aspects but also cosmetic considerations. For the analysis of skin samples, I have been working in close collaboration with a reputable histological institute for many years.
Outpatient procedures may be necessary for various skin conditions.

These include:

Nevi (atypical moles)
Sebaceous cysts and lipomas
Skin tags and age spots
Actinic keratoses (precancerous skin lesions)
Basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas (non-melanoma skin cancers)
Melanomas (melanoma skin cancers)

Dermatology for Teenagers

As a dermatologist and mother, it is important to me to provide other parents with comprehensive and easily understandable information on how to care for and treat children and teenagers with skin problems through individually tailored therapies. This includes:

As the immune system is not fully developed in many adolescents, warts often occur during this stage of life. Viruses penetrate the skin through minor injuries and settle in the top layer of the skin. Over time, these unwanted small warts develop in those areas. After a thorough examination of your child, we will find the best option for removal. In most cases, I use the modern method of laser treatment, which is painless and efficient. Occasionally, cryotherapy, which involves freezing the warts, is also applied.

Puberty is a period of significant changes for many adolescents, accompanied by various emotions. The development of hormonal acne during this time is an additional problem that heavily burdens teenagers and makes it challenging to develop strong self-confidence. Through informative conversations, I explain to your child the origins of acne and the diverse possibilities for improvement. Medical options and cosmetic treatments work hand in hand to provide comprehensive treatment approaches.

The prescription of contraceptive birth control pills, which in the past seemed to be the only means for many girls to successfully combat acne, is avoided in this way.

The goal is to effectively and sustainably combat acne, without the influence of administered hormone medications.

The hormonal changes during adolescence put a significant strain on the teenage skin. In addition to blemishes, many teenagers complain of very dry skin with cracked and brittle areas, often accompanied by intense itching. As often is the case, the key to relief lies in a combination of perfectly tailored skincare and optimizations in diet and lifestyle. Together with your child, we will find the right approach and a suitable treatment mix that will quickly and effectively achieve the desired results in the long term.

The life of a teenager is a constant roller coaster of emotions - no wonder that with so much excitement and upheaval, the skin is also heavily affected. Stress and hormonal changes mean that young skin requires particularly tailored care to be able to radiate healthily. I meet these specific needs in my practice with a diverse range of methods and cosmetic treatments, which I would be happy to discuss with you and your teenager in a personal conversation.
