About myself:

As a dedicated medical doctor with a large practice in dermatovenerology and cosmetology I have a comprehensive view of and a system approach to ageing-related and pathological skin changes. With my extensive experience in invasive methods (mesotherapy, contour plastics, use of botulinum toxins, volumetric 3-D remodelling and thread lifting) I am able to take a comprehensive and consistent professional approach to correcting age changes. I deeply enjoy “painting with the needle*” like an artist with a brush. I love my profession, I like making people beautiful, confident and happy. Being trained in psychology I am able to take a deep view of my customer and select a soft and delicate way of correcting age-related and other changes. I would be delighted to see you among my regular customers. Together we can do a lot!
