Each treatment has its own page with procedure, duration, risks and frequently asked questions:
Anti-wrinkle injections
Frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet – softened while your facial expression is preserved.
Lip filler
Contour, volume or hydration with hyaluronic acid – in harmony with your face.
Under eye filler
Tear trough treatment for a less tired look – only when volume loss is the cause.
Skin booster
Hydration and firmness with skin boosters and biostimulators.
Mesotherapy & PRP
Micro-injections and platelet-rich plasma for skin and scalp.
Hair loss in women
Laboratory investigation first, then targeted treatment.
Why a medical practice?
The difference lies in medical responsibility – it begins long before the injection:
Internal medicine first
Before any treatment the internist reviews medication, blood thinners, allergies, pre-existing conditions and pregnancy.
Emergency equipment
Treatment takes place in a medical practice equipped for emergencies. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved immediately if required.
We advise against when appropriate
We only recommend what is medically sensible and suits you. If a treatment is not suitable, we say so.
Same physician throughout
From consultation to follow-up you are seen by the same doctor – and he remains your contact afterwards.
How it works
- Consultation – wishes, expectations and health are discussed; you decide without time pressure
- Planning & consent – amount and zones are planned and risks explained; everything is documented in writing
- Treatment – in the practice, without surgery, usually in 20 to 45 minutes
- Follow-up – after about two weeks we assess the result together and adjust if necessary
Health check first
Medication (e.g. blood thinners), allergies, pre-existing conditions, pregnancy and previous treatments are checked before any treatment is planned.
When we advise against
If a wish does not suit your proportions or a medical reason speaks against it, we advise against the treatment or propose an alternative.
Risks and side effects
Swelling, redness and small bruises are possible for a few days. Rare complications are discussed individually before every treatment.
Questions about aesthetic medicine
What is aesthetic medicine?
Aesthetic medicine covers non-surgical treatments performed by a physician to improve appearance – for example wrinkle treatment, hyaluronic acid fillers, skin boosters, mesotherapy and PRP.
Who performs the treatments?
All treatments are performed personally by Dr. med. Abdurrahman Altuntas, specialist in internal medicine and nephrology. He knows your health, your medication and your risks.
Is the consultation binding?
No. In the consultation we discuss your wishes and only recommend what is medically appropriate.
Does health insurance cover aesthetic treatments?
Purely aesthetic treatments are self-pay services. Medical treatments such as an iron infusion for iron deficiency or the investigation of hair loss are usually covered by health insurance.
