The Self-Test: Finger or Hand?
Before you think specifically about a particular treatment, try a small test in the mirror: 🔎 Do you tighten your facial skin – with one finger or with your whole hand?
One Finger
You are looking for a subtle, understated lift.
The Whole Hand
You feel the need for a more comprehensive change – perhaps in the mid-face, along the neck or the jawline.
This simple self-test often reveals more about your expectations than many words. And it helps us to find the right method for you together.
From Gentle to Surgical: Methods at a Glance
Sculptra: The Collagen Booster for the Skin
This biostimulator stimulates the body's own collagen production, tightening and improving skin structure over several months. No immediate effects, but a natural, sustainable build-up. Perfect if you have a little patience and are looking for a subtle, understated rejuvenation.
Polynucleotides and Skinboosters: Liquid Facelift
The motto here is: hydrate, strengthen and smooth through gentle micro-injections. Particularly suited to younger skin or as prevention. Especially effective in combination with Sculptra or as a "soft start" for those who are undecided.
Facelift: Modern and Individual
Tailored to your wishes, skin quality and age:
- •One-Stitch-Lift: Mini procedure for the upper half of the face or brow lifting. Not to be confused with the Mini Facelift.
- •SMAS Facelift: Also lifts deeper structures and provides a natural, long-lasting tightening effect.
- •Full Facelift: Comprehensive rejuvenation from forehead to neck. Particularly suited to patients with a clear vision and a strong desire for change.
Why Skin Ages
- →Collagen and elastin production decline
- →The skin becomes thinner and loses volume
- →Fat compartments shift
- →Expression lines deepen
Understanding what changes helps us understand better what we can change and how.
Finding Together the Method That Suits Your Face AND Your Lifestyle
Every person sees themselves in their own way. We see every detail. What you wish to change is deeply personal. That is why we take time. For dialogue. For the mirror test. And for your honest answer to the question: what do I truly want?
It is not always the visible difference in fine lines that matters most – it is the overall impression. What is important is what suits your reflection. Today and tomorrow.
