Self-confidence and well-being are closely linked to our external appearance, and the stomach plays a central role in this.

For many people, however, the abdominal region is one of the most problematic areas when it comes to getting rid of excess fatty tissue and loose skin.

Tummy tuck | thread lift - an innovation!

In the world of aesthetic dermatology, an innovative technique has become increasingly established in recent years: the tummy tuck using sutures. This minimally invasive method promises to tighten and rejuvenate the abdominal area without the need for extensive surgery. Tummy tuck with threads has developed as a promising alternative to conventional tummy tuck procedures and opens up new possibilities for patients to achieve their aesthetic goals without having to put up with long downtimes and scarring.

This page explains the tummy tuck with stitches in more detail. You will learn, among other things, how this procedure works, what advantages it offers, who is suitable for this treatment and what results you can expect. If you are interested in a tummy tuck or are simply curious about what modern aesthetic surgery has to offer, you should read this article carefully. Feel free to contact me for more information!

How does a tummy tuck with stitches work?

This new tummy tuck technique is performed with PDO sutures. These are approx. 5-7 cm long and are inserted using the “criss-cross technique”.

How does a tummy tuck with stitches work?

The “criss cross” technique in thread lifting is a special method used in non-surgical thread lifts or PDO thread lifts (polydioxanone thread lifts). This technique is designed to achieve a particularly effective tightening and lifting of the skin by placing the threads in a criss-cross pattern.

Procedure of the thread lift

At the beginning of the treatment , the patient’s skin is cleansed and a local anaesthetic cream is applied to the areas of the body to be treated in order to minimize pain and discomfort.

The doctor then marks the areas where the stitches are to be inserted. These markings are usually made along the contours of the area to be treated, in the case of a tummy tuck along the abdominal region. The polydioxanone threads are inserted into the skin using a special needle. With the “criss-cross” technique, the threads are not only placed in parallel, but in an oblique or criss-cross pattern. Once the threads are inserted, the doctor carefully crosses them to achieve additional lifting and tightening of the skin. This crossing of the threads creates a network or grid pattern under the skin that lifts and smoothes the skin.

Major benefit - stimulation of collagen production

Similar to other thread lifting procedures, PDO threads stimulate the production of collagen in the body. Collagen is a crucial protein for the elasticity and firmness of the skin and ensures firm skin and a youthful appearance!

Especially after childbirth or severe weight loss, excess skin can occur, which can be restored to its former radiance by means of skin tightening!

Who is suitable for this tummy tuck method?

The decision to perform a tummy tuck using PDO sutures or polydioxanone sutures should be made after careful consideration. Not everyone is automatically a suitable candidate for this procedure. The treatment is particularly popular for Women after pregnancy or after weight loss.

This means that the treatment is particularly suitable for those whose skin has already lost some of its firmness, but is not extremelysaggy or severely overstretched.

Advantages of a tummy tuck with stitches

A tummy tuck with sutures offers a number of advantages over other treatments, especially when compared to traditional surgical procedures such as a tummy tuck. Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Minimally invasive: This procedure is minimally invasive, which means that only small incisions or punctures are required. In contrast to a tummy tuck, no large incisions or extensive removal of skin and fatty tissue are necessary.
  • Less downtime: Most patients have a faster recovery after a tummy tuck using sutures compared to traditional tummy tuck procedures. Downtime is usually shorter and most people can return to their normal activities after a few days.
  • Minimally visible scars: As only small incisions are made, the scars are usually minimal and often barely visible. This is a great advantage for patients who are concerned about scarring.
  • No general anesthesia required: A tummy tuck with stitches can usually be performed under local anesthesia or light sedation, which reduces the risk of anesthetic complications.
  • Natural looking results: The threads are placed under the skin to achieve a natural tightening and lifting effect. The results often look very natural and continue to develop over time as collagen production is stimulated.
  • Short procedure: A tummy tuck with stitches usually takes less time than traditional tummy tuck procedures. The procedure can often be completed in an hour or less.
  • No hospitalization required: As this is an outpatient procedure, hospitalization is not usually required. Most patients can leave the clinic on the same day.
  • Suitable for different skin types: Stitch abdominoplasty can be suitable for different skin types and skin tones without the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes.

However, it is important to note that the choice between a tummy tuck with stitches and other treatment methods depends on the patient’s individual needs and goals. A thorough consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon is crucial to determine the best option for your personal needs and expectations.

Risks and side effects of a thread lift

As with any treatment, there can be risks and side effects with a thread lift for a tummy tuck. However, these are generally less severe compared to traditional tummy tuck procedures. It is important to be aware of these potential risks and discuss them with your specialist before you decide to have the procedure.

Externally, there are no side effects to be expected, apart from slight swelling, slight pain or bruising, which will disappear on their own after a while. Dr. Barbara Franz is a specialist in treatments such as thread lifting and will take good care of you!

Which other areas are suitable for a thread lift?

Smooth skin without Botox and hyaluronic acid – treatment with the fractional CO2 laser makes it possible! Skin rejuvenation with the CO2 laser is one of the most modern and effective skin rejuvenation procedures. Unlike ablative laser therapy, this treatment gently penetrates and removes small areas of skin. In this way, countless microscopically small holes, barely visible to the eye, are shot into the skin. The subsequent healing process revitalizes the skin and makes it firmer, smoother and softer. Pigmentation and wrinkles disappear and the overall appearance of the skin improves.

This skin rejuvenation therapy offers the following advantages in addition to its simple application:

Important FAQs on the treatment of pigment and age spots

In principle, CO2 laser treatment is not painful. However, if desired, the patient can be pre-treated with a local anesthetic ointment. For smaller areas, the treatment is completely painless as a special icing spray is used.

Following the treatment, a cream should be applied to accelerate wound healing. I will of course be happy to advise you on this as part of the treatment.

The CO2 laser treatment is suitable for all those who suffer from one of the problems listed below:

– Scars (e.g. acne scars, scars after operations or burns)
– Pigmentation disorders
– Sun damage
– Wrinkles on the face and around the sensitive skin area
– Large-pored skin
– Milia (annoying sebum inclusions under the skin)

After the skin treatment, it is quite normal for redness and swelling to occur and for crusts to form on the treated area. Slight itching may also occur during the healing process. However, this is merely a sign of healthy healing and the discomfort should subside a few days after the treatment.

As a rule, a single application of the laser is enough to trigger a noticeable improvement in the skin. However, this cannot be said across the board, as every patient is different! However, a clarifying discussion with Dr. Barbara Franz at the start of treatment should answer this question for you.

After the procedure, it is essential that you take intensive care of your skin and do not expose it to sunlight. You will notice the first improvements after just a few days. More pronounced wrinkles usually take a little longer to heal. Here, the first improvements can usually be seen and felt around ten days after the laser treatment. As the skin is renewed from the inside out, you can often notice positive results even months later.

An analgesic cream is applied before the treatment, which is normally sufficient. For further relief of irritation or itching that may occur after treatment, I recommend special ointments and creams.

Prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to premature skin ageing, so you should use suitable sun protection regularly. After a laser treatment, you should avoid direct sunlight for at least 4 weeks. It is important that you wear sun protection with SPF 50+ and reapply several times a day.

Treating drooping eyelids without surgery

But you can see this after just a few days!

An eyelid lift is one of the most frequently performed procedures in aesthetic dermatology, as many people suffer from drooping eyelids. Drooping eyelids can have various causes – some sufferers have had them since childhood, while for others they only appear later in life. Despite the fact that this is a cosmetic rather than a medical problem, my patients often complain about its effects. Extremely drooping eyelids can also restrict the field of vision or cause eye discomfort. I have the solution for this – treatment with the Morpheus 8. I have summarized more information about drooping eyelids and their treatment below!

What are drooping eyelids?

Drooping eyelids (medical term: blepharochalasis) occur when the upper eyelid hangs down over the eye due to a lack of elasticity or tension. Drooping eyelids can occur in one or both eyes; men and women are equally affected.

Bags under the eyes are the counterpart to drooping eyelids, which refer to swelling of the lower eyelid. This swelling of the lower eyelid is caused by fat and water deposits, which usually occur as a result of stress and age. I also offer treatments against dark circles in my practice!

What are the causes of drooping eyelids?

There are various causes of drooping eyelids or a drooping eyelid:

  • Age-related changes to the skin and connective tissue: With increasing age, the skin becomes thinner and less elastic. In addition, the small "connective tissue cushions" between the eyelid and the eyeball shrink. All these factors can lead to a drooping eyelid.
  • Excessive sun exposure: UV radiation damages the skin and leads to a loss of collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, the skin becomes more fragile and can no longer regress as easily, which can lead to drooping eyelids.
  • Genetic: In some people, a drooping eyelid is simply genetic - it runs in the family.
  • Temporary water retention (edema): These occur more frequently due to excessive alcohol or nicotine consumption as well as fatigue and stress.

Why should I have an eyelid lift?

As mentioned above, it can become a medical necessity to remove excess skin from the eyes, as this sometimes results in the patient’s visual field being restricted. However, many patients also opt for an eyelid lift for aesthetic reasons alone. Drooping eyelids often make the patient look tired, stressed, tense and ill. With a drooping eyelid correction, you have the opportunity for a new attitude towards life!

How can drooping eyelids be treated?

There are many options for treating drooping eyelids. Some doctors opt for correction by means of surgery. Eyelid surgery often has the disadvantage that the patient has to expect long waiting times.

However, my miracle cure for drooping eyelids is a very special treatment that is offered in my practice – the Morpheus 8.

What is the Morpheus 8?

The Morpheus 8 is a further development of classic microneedling and makes it possible to stimulate collagen formation in the deeper layers of the skin and thus restore a youthful glow. Thanks to the combination of microneedling and radio frequency, this treatment benefits from the effects of two different technologies and thus achieves a synergy effect – here 1+1 does not make 2 but 3! As a result, cell renewal is stimulated and the skin appears younger, fresher and more toned!

This minimally invasive technique can be used in many areas! Treatment of the eyes is particularly popular. Here, the Morpheus 8 is used to tighten the eyelids, as the sagging, excess skin is tightened and contracts.

Other areas treated include the face, neck and décolleté, stomach, thighs, buttocks and knees.

What advantages does the Morpheus 8 offer?

  • Short downtimes thanks to the use of radio frequency energy
  • No surgery necessary thanks to the minimally invasive treatment technique
  • Variety of application areas
  • Suitable for every skin type
  • Combination with other beauty treatments possible

What distinguishes microneedling treatment with the Morpheus 8 from other beauty treatments?

Whether after a peel, Botox or hyaluronic injections, or laser therapy – all these treatments have the disadvantage that patients are affected by downtimes of up to a week. The great advantage of treatment with the Morpheus 8 is that there is NO DOWNTIME!

This treatment does not cause wounds, crusting or swelling. It can be carried out all year round (even in summer), as the skin regenerates and restructures itself from the inside! So you don’t have to worry about taking a vacation after the treatment or postponing the next date with your loved one. After treatment with the Morpheus 8, you are totally flexible and can carry on with your normal daily routine!

How much does eyelid treatment with the Morpheus 8 cost?

For exact pricing of eyelid correction with the Morpheus 8, please refer to our price list.

How many sessions are recommended?

I recommend three sessions at intervals of approx. 6 weeks. Of course, the therapy concept is individually adapted to you!

Skin booster for more radiance based on hyaluronic acid and glycerine

The Skin Booster treatment is a popular treatment for rejuvenating the skin and improving its appearance. It revitalizes the skin and gives it moisture, tone and elasticity. The skin becomes firmer, more radiant and fine wrinkles are reduced.

The Skin Booster contains hyaluronic acid, a water-rich and very well-tolerated gel substance that is also found almost everywhere in our body. Hyaluronic acid binds moisture in the skin and stimulates the body to produce elastin and collagen, making it the key to a youthful appearance.

With increasing age, the hyaluronic acid content in the skin decreases and leads to a loss of moisture and elasticity – resulting in the formation of wrinkles. As creams unfortunately never reach the deeper layers of the skin, a skin booster is the ideal treatment to effectively counteract skin ageing. It replenishes the skin’s moisture reserves in a natural way.

Another substance with which the Skin Booster is enriched is glycerine, which improves the moisture and elasticity of the skin and enhances the effect of hyaluronic acid. Enriching the skin with hyaluronic acid and glycerin improves skin quality, increases skin volume and reduces the first signs of skin ageing.

The Skin Booster provides a pain-free, well-tolerated treatment with immediately visible results.

Important FAQs about Skin Booser treatment with hyaluronic acid and glycerine

The booster is injected into the top to middle layer of the skin in the desired areas using fine, short needles.

Popular treatment areas are the face, neck, décolleté and hands.

The treatment is basically suitable for everyone to reduce fine wrinkles. Younger patients can maintain their firm skin and sun-stressed, dry skin is revitalized. For more mature patients, the treatment leads to a refined skin texture and a radiant complexion.

What is mesotherapy?

Innovative mesotherapy provides gentle and restorative facial rejuvenation for visibly improved skin quality and significantly stronger skin tone.

Using the finest needles, it is possible to painlessly penetrate the mesodermal layers of the skin and connective tissue, which are usually inaccessible to cosmetics, in order to introduce pharmacologically active ingredients and beauty cocktails into these areas. Revitalizing substances such as highly effective vitamins, minerals and amino acids can now act with pinpoint accuracy and stimulate cell metabolism to gently reduce the first signs of skin ageing. By activating the blood and lymph flow, the tissue is detoxified and regenerated. This tightens the skin!

Who is mesotherapy suitable for?

For superficial wrinkles, a dull complexion and loss of elasticity on the face, neck, décolleté and hands, circulation-promoting, revitalizing substances and above all hyaluronic acid into the skin. This improves moisture retention in the skin and stimulates cell renewal and the formation of new collagen. The elasticity of your skin increases. Your skin becomes firmer and more elastic – for more radiance and dewy skin!

Special formulations and treatment cocktails for “problem cases”

Mesotherapy does not produce quick results. It is a gentle form of treatment that requires regularity. In order to achieve visible results, 3 to 4 treatments should be carried out at intervals of around 2 to 3 weeks. A long-lasting therapeutic effect can be achieved through further refresher treatments at intervals of approx. 3 to 4 months.

Korea Lift - The new therapy method for skin rejuvenation

To achieve maximum effect, I recommend a combination of autologous plasma, which is applied directly to the cleansed skin with the DermaPen.

The treatment is virtually painless compared to conventional dermarollers.

For the Korean peel, blood is taken, purified and important components for skin regeneration are filtered out. This plasma is then applied to the disinfected area and finally applied to the skin with the DermaPen , where it can take effect.

The DermaPen is a microneedling instrument! It creates tiny wound channels with many small needles that appear at right angles to the skin. The body’s own regeneration process and self-healing functions are stimulated, blood circulation is promoted, waste products are removed and the skin regenerates. After two to three months, the skin is significantly firmer and denser, and stretch marks are also visibly thinner. The therapy is also suitable for sagging skin on the décolleté, neck and upper arms, as well as for pigmentation spots and for treating the backs of the hands.

The revolutionary device delivers the active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin at up to 150 pulses per second. The skin’s regeneration and self-healing functions are strongly stimulated, leading to a noticeable increase in collagen production. Your skin appears firmer, rejuvenated, plumped up and more elastic than before.

Above all, however, the intensive wound healing literally restructures the tissue:new collagen fibers are formed, which have a firming effect on the skin ! The new vascularization increases blood circulation and the skin is ideally supplied with micronutrients
.

With KOREA-LIFT, the skin undergoes a nourishing regeneration booster: the dull complexion becomes rosy and fresh again.

  • Aftercare: application of a post-laser cream in the surgery | wound cream for 7 days after the treatment | consistent sun protection for 6 to 8 weeks is important for optimum results
  • Sociability: slight pigment spots after treatment (can be easily covered with antibacterial camouflage; available in our practice) | redness in the first 2 to 3 days after treatment | slight flaking between the 3rd and 5th day > healing ointment is recommended
  • Visibility of the results: first results after the first treatment | approx. 2 weeks after the treatment you can admire the complete result
  • Durability of results: long-lasting or permanent (if special whitening cream is used every other evening)

How do pigmentation and age spots form?

Even if we know nothing but taut, flawless skin from the media – sooner or later, everyone makes the acquaintance of light to dark brown discolored areas of skin of various shapes and sizes, so-called pigment spots, which are caused by an overproduction of melanin.But moles in exposed areas, pigment spots on the face or décolleté, dark age spots on the hands and shoulders are also an unpleasant cosmetic problem for many of those affected.

Pigment disorders and pigment spots can be found in almost everyone!

The reasons for hyperpigmentation vary: on the one hand there are birthmarks that are already present from birth, on the other hand there are those that only develop over time. These include freckles or pigment spots, which can occur primarily on the upper lip, cheeks and forehead as a result of hormonal factors during pregnancy (chloasma) or are also due to the use of medication. However, pigmentation disorders also often occur with injuries or inflammatory skin diseases. Acne patients are very frequently affected.

Age spots, which usually appear as small dark spots on the back of the hands, arms, shoulders and face, are the result of excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

What are hyperpigmentations actually?

This refers to an “excess” of pigment accumulation in the skin, especially in areas of the body that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the forehead, upper lip area, cheeks, décolleté and arms. Depending on the cause of the hyperpigmentation, a distinction is made between age spots, lens spots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Lens spots: These are caused by pigment accumulation due to too much sun or sunburn.

Age spots: From the age of 30, our melanocytes can no longer distribute the pigment evenly in the skin (“ageing phenomenon of melanocytes”), which means that they release melanin more intensively to some skin cells than to others: this is how the unloved first “age spots” appear – typically the size of a lentil and on the face, décolleté and arms (back of the hand).

Melasma: a very special, stubborn form of hyperpigmentation, as the “too much” pigment can accumulate in deeper layers of the skin (dermis). The cause here – in addition to a genetic predisposition – can usually be found in our hormones: hormonal contraception (pill, coil) or a previous pregnancy can be the trigger for melasma.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: These are small, healed injuries or inflammations in the skin such as pimples, insect bites, etc., which eventually heal into dark pigmentation.

This applies to all forms of pigmentation disorders:

Only clearly benign skin changes are treated with laser, peelings or bleaching cream! (If malignant skin changes are suspected, they are immediately surgically removed and histologically clarified).

What exactly happens during the treatment?

Depending on the diagnosis, peelings and/or bleaching creams are used before the laser treatment, the skin is cleansed and any hair is removed.

When removing individual pigmentation spots, the surrounding skin is covered so that only the pigment is captured by the laser. In the case of extensive pigmentation, e.g. especially in the facial area, a local anesthetic gel is also applied to the skin before the laser treatment.

In the case of superficial pigment – i.e. treatment with ILP lasers – the pigmented area in the skin is broken up into several small pigments so that these can be absorbed by the body’s own scavenger cells and then broken down.

In the case of deeper pigment, fractional CO2 laser technology is used to create tiny wound channels in the skin, which “thin out” the pigment. This results in intensive wound healing and the release of growth factors, which also slightly tightens and firms the skin.

In the case of very dark or deeply embedded pigment, an ablative procedure is used, i.e. pigment is removed step by step in layers using a CO2 laser.

During the laser treatment, the patient only feels the heat of the light. It is not usually necessary to anesthetize the skin. For extremely sensitive skin areas and high sensitivity to pain, an anesthetic substance can of course be applied at the patient’s request to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

The skin is cooled after the treatment. This soothes it and minimizes any redness that may occur.

The following areas and skin problems can be treated:

  • Scars (after acne, OPS or burns)
  • Pigmentation disorders of any kind on the back of the hands, arms and face
  • Sun damage
  • Wrinkles on the face and around the sensitive skin area
  • Large-pored skin
  • Milia (annoying sebaceous inclusions under the skin)

Fractionated CO2 laser for the removal of warts, age spots and skin changes

The individual treatment of cosmetically disturbing, benign skin tags and warts/age wartsis carried out using a CO2 laser. The current and innovative form of therapy to remove skin changes under local anesthesia within a few minutes – without sutures.

The aesthetically pleasing result is very important to me!

After an individual consultation, I can determine whether this application is an option. Only certain skin tumors allow this type of removal:

  • Fibromas: (protruding tumors of the skin that are soft and hang down like small bags on the neck, armpits or in the genital area)
  • Benign birthmarks
  • Warts
  • Age warts
  • Condylomas
  • Xanthelasma
  • Syringome

Modern laser technology for soft, smooth and radiant skin

I work with both fractional CO2 lasers and IPL lasers to successfully treat the many small wrinkles typical of the face (“elastase”) and neck. These innovative laser treatments make it possible to vaporize the skin in the form of microscopically small heat columns or to tighten the skin over a large area.

New collagen is formed!

In addition, there is a shrinking effect: existing collagen bundles contract strongly. Fresh, new skin is formed, which refines the overall skin texture.

The result is soft, smooth and radiant skin.

Important FAQs on the treatment of pigment and age spots

As the skin is very fresh and sensitive after the treatment, you should avoid extensive sunbathing for a few weeks. In addition, not only should sun creams with a high sun protection factor be used to avoid further UV-induced hyperpigmentation, but also appropriate day creams with a high sun protection factor should be used to keep the treatment results fresh for as long as possible.

To maintain an even complexion after the laser treatment, I recommend an anti-aging cream with natural, brightening ingredients. This is available in our practice!
In my practice I offer a special laser treatment with which freckles can be removed quickly and without scarring.
This always depends on the depth of the pigment. In principle, all forms of hyperpigmentation can be lightened and many can be removed completely.
In addition to redness and slight swelling, slight flaking may occur. In the case of very dark and deep pigment spots and when using the CO2 laser, you should expect gray scaling that lasts for 2-3 days.
Applying the bleaching cream I developed every other evening and daily sun protection can ensure a long-lasting, permanent result.

How do dark circles form?

Treatment with hyaluronic acid injections works reliably here and can significantly reduce dark circles under the eyes.

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by a lack of fatty tissue (hereditary or due to fat loss as we age) or by hyperpigmentation , which can occur more frequently in darker skin types – a dark shadow appears and is responsible for a tired appearance.

In addition, everyday life also has an impact on the appearance of the skin: stress, lack of sleep and fluids, depression and worry, illness and excessive alcohol consumption can also have a negative effect on the appearance of dark circles.

Hyaluronic acid injections reduce dark circles in the long term

While creams help against dark circles in the short term, professional injections with hyaluronic acid can reduce dark circles in the long term or make them disappear completely.

My treatment goal is to lift the depressions in the skin in this sensitive area by injecting special hyaluronic acid precisely and carefully, thus gently compensating for the volume deficit. In this way, shadows and dark circles are diminished and dark circles are reduced or become completely invisible.

You will be amazed at the results. Your tired eyes will be awake, fresh and beautiful again!

How does a treatment with hyaluronic gel work?

Using a fine cannula, the hyaluronic acid is injected into the area to be treated. Here, “less” is often “more” to achieve a natural, beautiful result. Depending on the size of the dark circles, further treatment may be necessary.

After the initial treatment, however, it is advisable to wait for the final result before undergoing further treatment after 2-3 weeks at the earliest.

Important FAQs about hyaluronic acid injections

Injections for dark circles under the eyes should be carried out slowly and in several stages, depending on the situation and requirements.
Once the desired treatment result has been achieved, a refresher treatment can be expected after 8 – 12 months, depending on the patient’s tissue. Hyaluronic acid injections also have another advantage: they stimulate the body’s own collagen production in the treated area, so that new and fresh connective tissue can develop in the long term and thus contribute to lasting treatment success. The following applies: the higher the quality of the material used, the better the collagen stimulation!

The distance to further injections of the dark circles will therefore continue to increase.

The injection is carried out in small quantities and in a controlled manner to avoid excessive filling of the tear trough. The treatment is completely safe, as hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our skin.

After the treatment, slight swelling must be expected, particularly in the eye area, and possibly a small hematoma due to the close proximity of the blood vessels. However, both will disappear within a few days and can be easily covered with camouflage. Especially in the area of your dark circles or tear trough, you should only have the treatment performed by specialists in order to achieve an aesthetic and beautiful treatment result.

The result is visible immediately after the injection, as the treatment immediately lifts the dark circles under the eyes. However, the final result can only be admired after a few days.

Due to the presence of a delicate vascular network in the area below our eyes, a hematoma (small bruise) may occur in rare cases, but this can be covered immediately with antibacterial camouflage and usually disappears completely after 2-5 days.

Aspirin or other blood-thinning medication should be avoided one week before the appointment to prevent hematoma formation.

It is important to avoid sports, sauna or steam bath for 2 days after treatment with hyaluronic acid against dark circles and shadows under the eyes and to avoid any external pressure on the treated area – the gel-like consistency of the filler material needs 24 hours to be fixed in the tissue.

Only in rare cases can small but easily concealable hematomas occur in the treated area after treatment of dark circles and under-eye circles with hyaluronic acid. Slight swelling and redness may occur, but this will disappear after 1-2 days.

When treating tear troughs, it is advisable to consult a specialist as it requires a great deal of expertise. In addition to hematomas, which can occur in rare cases, improper treatment can lead to uneven distribution of the hyaluronic acid in the treated area, whereby the excess hyaluronic acid can subsequently be completely dissolved again with a special enzyme.

Here, the relevant expertise of the attending physician is essential. great importance. With Presence of lymphatic drainage disorders (this should be checked by the doctor beforehand – “snap test”), should be a corresponding treatment should be avoided.

After the first session, you can already see a clear improvement in dark circles under the eyes, and a dark shadow can at least be reduced.

Scar treatment with the fractional CO2 laser

A targeted and effective treatment method

Everything at a glance

  • Treatment duration: 5 to 20 minutes
  • Anesthesia: local anesthetic cream 20 minutes before treatment
  • Follow-up treatment: use of wound ointment 1 to 2 times a day in the 1st week
  • Social effects: slight redness and swelling 3 to 7 days after the treatment | additional: feeling of warmth and tension, reminiscent of sunburn | Small crusts form over the lasered skin spots over the following days, which are gradually shed. However, these can be easily covered with make-up.
  • Visibility of the results: Within a few days, new, softer skin will form with a more even complexion than before. Over the next 6 to 9 months, your skin will continue to improve as the old collagen is replaced by new collagen.
  • Durability of the results: 1 to 2 years
  • Exception: We do not treat scars caused by self-harm ("scratching")!

In my practice, I specialize in the latest methods for all types of scars thanks to my long-standing and current collaboration with the scar outpatient clinic of the Charité in Berlin.

Targeted skin correction - scars that are still "active" require individual therapy

I carefully treat scars, which are flat but appear as dark spots, especially on the face and after acne, with the fractionated CO2 laser and concentrated bleaching peels. As an accompanying therapy, you will receive a bleaching cream tailored to your skin for treatment at home. With this combination of therapies, results can be seen after just 2-3 treatments!

Early treatment supports success

In the case of hypertrophic scars (bulging) or keloids (extending beyond the original wound edges; often red, thick, inflammatory, sometimes itchy because nerve fibers are involved in the inflammation), scar treatment should be carried out as early as possible.

Advantages of the CO2 laser

  • Innovative laser treatment that makes it possible to vaporize the skin in the form of microscopically small heat columns or to tighten the skin over a large area.
  • Formation of new collagen
  • Shrinking effect: Existing collagen bundles contract strongly.
  • The result is soft, smooth and radiant skin.

Important FAQs about laser skin tightening

A laser lift can be used with the onset of elastosis (initial ageing of the skin due to the formation of tiny wrinkles).

The fractional CO2 laser also leads to a restructuring and firming of the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in overall thicker, youthful and firmer skin.

Immediately after the laser lift there is redness, comparable to sunburn, but this is significantly reduced by applying the post-laser cream. There may also be slight swelling in the eye area, as the skin here is particularly delicate.

Improper treatment can lead to scarring. It is therefore important to have the treatment carried out at a laser-certified practice.

The CO2 laser is a very effective and efficient way to treat scars. A variety of different types of scars can be treated, with the exception of scars caused by self-harm (“scoring”). Dr. Barbara Franz did NOT recommend treatment with the CO2 laser.
