Being overweight can have a serious impact not only on physical health, but also on mental well-being. Many sufferers have already tried numerous diets, exercise regularly and pay attention to their diet – and yet the desired results are not achieved. Modern medicine offers effective support here: weight loss injections.
The so-called slimming injection uses active ingredients from the class of GLP-1 receptor agonists. These drugs mimic the body’s own hormones, which regulate the feeling of hunger and slow down gastric emptying. This makes you feel full faster, eat less and lose weight in the long term – without feeling hungry all the time.
Important to know:
The weight loss injection does not replace a healthy lifestyle. It is part of a holistic therapy concept that includes nutrition, exercise and medical care.
The therapy is suitable for people who
have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or
have a BMI of 27 or more in combination with diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea.
In certain cases, the slimming injection can also be used for a BMI below 27. However, this depends on various individual factors and should always be discussed in a personal consultation with our specialist.

The desire for fuller and more harmonious breasts is understandable for many women – whether due to genetic predisposition, pregnancy and breastfeeding or asymmetries. But when does breast augmentation really make sense? What options are there and what should you look out for before making a decision?
This article will give you an overview of the various methods, important requirements and help you make a decision.
The reasons for breast augmentation surgery are individual, but often similar:
Naturally small breast volume
Loss of fullness after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight changes
Inequalities in size or shape (asymmetries)
Desire for a better proportion to the rest of the body
Reconstruction or correction after medical procedures
In most cases, the focus is on the desire for an improved body image and more self-confidence.
There are several proven methods available that can be used depending on the initial physical situation and desired goal:
The classic method
Different sizes, shapes and materials available
Long-lasting result
Particularly suitable for a clearly visible increase in volume
Uses the body’s own fatty tissue (e.g. from the abdomen or thigh)
Particularly natural result
No foreign body sensation
Suitable for moderate magnification
Combines the dimensional stability of an implant with the soft transition and volume build-up of autologous fat
Suitable if a natural feel is desired in addition to volume
Which method is suitable depends on the individual initial findings, physical conditions and personal wishes.
1. consultation & planning
A detailed preliminary examination and personal consultation form the basis of every breast augmentation. This will clarify which method is suitable and which results are realistically achievable.
2. surgery
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the method. With the autologous fat method, liposuction is also performed.
3. aftercare
A recovery period is required after the operation. Special support bras should be worn for a few weeks and physical activity is only possible to a limited extent. Most patients are fit for everyday life again after a short time.
The choice depends, among other things, on:
The desired change (moderate vs. significant volume)
The amount of endogenous fat present
The question of whether foreign material (implant) is accepted
The importance of naturalness in form and feeling
Any previous medical findings or previous operations
A personal consultation is essential in order to find the right method for you and to achieve the desired result in the best possible way.
Breast augmentation is a very individual step and should be carefully considered and medically planned. Modern plastic and aesthetic surgery offers various options for this – from implants and autologous fat to a combination of both techniques.
It is important that you receive advice in a trusting environment and that your personal wishes are taken seriously. This is the only way to achieve an aesthetically and emotionally satisfying result.
Fine, reddish-bluish veins directly under the skin – spider veins are a widespread phenomenon, especially on the legs. Even though they are usually medically harmless, many sufferers find them annoying. The good news is that spider veins can be treated effectively and sustainably with the proven method of sclerotherapy. In this article, you will find out how the treatment works, what it does and who it is suitable for.
Spider veins are dilated small veins that run just below the surface of the skin. They appear as reddish, purple or bluish lines – often like a fine network of veins – and occur mainly on the thighs, calves or around the knees.
Heredity (familial predisposition)
Hormonal influences (e.g. pregnancy, the pill, menopause)
Standing or sitting for long periods
Weak connective tissue
Ageing processes of the blood vessels
Although spider veins do not pose a medical risk, many people find them aesthetically unpleasant – especially in the warmer months when legwear is shorter.
The most effective method for removing spider veins is sclerotherapy – a treatment in which the affected vessels are injected and sclerosed. A special liquid (sclerosing agent) is injected directly into the affected veins using a very fine needle.
The product slightly irritates the vessel walls, causing them to contract and stick together. As a result, the vessel is broken down by the body – the spider veins fade and gradually disappear.
✔️ Very good results for small and medium-sized spider veins
✔️ Outpatient treatment – no anesthetic required
✔️ Quick procedure – completed in just a few minutes
✔️ Long-lasting effect with the right aftercare
Sclerotherapy is considered to be particularly gentle on the tissue and has been a proven method in aesthetic medicine for decades.
Consultation and examination
Before treatment, a precise analysis of the affected vessels and an individual consultation are carried out.
Procedure
The sclerosing agent is injected directly into the spider veins using a very fine needle. The treatment usually only takes 15-30 minutes.
Aftercare
Slight redness or swelling may occur after treatment, but this usually subsides quickly. Compression stockings may be recommended in some cases to support the success of the treatment.
The number of sessions depends on the number and severity of the spider veins. In many cases, one session is sufficient; for more pronounced findings, 2-3 sessions are usually advisable to achieve an optimal result.
Even if sclerotherapy is very effective, new spider veins cannot always be completely prevented. These measures help to minimize the risk:
Regular exercise (e.g. walking, cycling, swimming)
Raise your legs after sitting or standing for a long time
Balanced diet and sufficient fluids
Alternating showers to strengthen the blood vessels
If you suffer from annoying spider veins, sclerotherapy is a safe and proven method for removing fine veins. The treatment is quick, virtually painless and provides visible results – without any surgery.
