The secret of healthy skin

The skin is an important and very complex organ. Skin irritation can have a strong negative affect on your general well-being. Therefore, in the field of dermatology, I offer a wide range of services – from the classic allergy treatment via blemishes up to psoriasis. It is important for me to establish a detailed medical history because skin diseases can have many different causes. Depending on the findings, I will create an individual treatment concept specifically for you.

My treatments are carried out according to the latest scientific findings and using the most advanced medical methods:

    Acne is an inflammatory disease of the sebaceous follicles, which primarily affects the face, chest and back. Acne pimples, small cysts are not only unsightly, but also represent a therapeutic need of the medical condition in which I as your dermatologist in Vienna can gladly advise you.

    An allergy refers to an overreaction of the immune system, to in itself harmless substances. Be it in the Spring due to pollen associated with watery eyes, breathing difficulty (asthma), or itchy rashes or otherwise by unpleasant effects of food intolerances. The allergic reaction can range from slightly annoying for those affected, upto a health hazard.

    Particularly important in this very complex topic are accurate professional medical history, targeted skin tests and blood tests. Once the trigger is isolated, you can start the treatment of the cause. Besides the use of prescription drugs I can if necessary also perform hyposensitizations for my patients to improve the chances for a long-lasting, successful treatment.

    Eczema usually goes hand in hand with dry, flaking, red and itching skin. There are various forms of eczema and also the formation may be induced in different ways. Therefore I offer a careful diagnosis and also possibly allergy tests and blood analysis . Only in this way can a tailor disease treatment concept are created specifically for you.

    Chronic hand eczema was previously usually treated with cortisone creams and / or light therapy (phototherapy). New drugs ( vitamin A acid derivatives ) can heal chronic eczema with high and sustainable effectiveness.

    Individually prescribed medicines as well as proposals for specific skincare play an important role with my treatment concepts and allow for consideration of personal needs in terms of the treatment sequence.

    Hair loss or baldness is not only unsightly, but often also a psychological burden for those affected. As a dermatologist the proper treatment of this disease is particularly important. Again, a thorough medical history and diagnosis is of the utmost importance.

    In addition to a specialist medical assessment, a hormone diagnostic and immunological diagnostic are usually important to prepare a customized treatment.

    Infectious diseases of the skin can have different origins. In order to determine whether it is bacteria, viruses , fungi or parasites, initially the complete skin is thouroughly investigated. To confirm the diagnosis smears or skin biopsies can also be taken.

    Since the causes of infectious diseases can be very diverse, therapies are specially designed by me for the individual requirements taking into account the nature and severity of the disease, in order to give my patients the best opportunities for a speedy recovery and to prevent new infections.

    Varicose veins are a common disease with considerable impairments in everyday life. Symptoms such as leg swelling and pain and leg cramps are serious warning signs of a looming disease.

After the nail fungus has been detected by your dermatologist, a consistent treatment regimen needs to be started, as otherwise even healthy nails can be infected by the spread of the nail fungus. In principle nail fungus can be transferred by contact infection at any time.

So the chances of an efficient prevention of a full expression of psoriasis and a lasting solution for my patients can be increased. In the beginning there is a detailed medical history and examination prior to initiating therapy.
