Injection with JULÄINE™ is an innovative aesthetic treatment based on activating the body's own collagen production. It uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that is specifically injected into the skin to promote natural regeneration and sustainably improve skin structure.
Polynucleotides (PDRN) are natural active ingredients that specifically stimulate cell renewal, promote microcirculation, and support collagen synthesis. They are derived from purified salmon sperm DNA – a process occasionally referred to colloquially as 'salmon sperm therapy.' The extraction is carried out gently and under animal welfare standards, without harming the animals.
Polynucleotides improve skin structure, increase elasticity, and provide a more even, radiant complexion – entirely without artificial fillers.
Typical application areas include:
- Skin rejuvenation for the face, neck, and décolleté
- Wrinkle treatment in the eye area and dark circles
- Support for scars, e.g., after acne
- Promotion of hair growth for incipient hair loss
For optimal results, we recommend a course of several treatments at intervals of 2–3 weeks. The effect builds up gradually and shows particularly long-lasting results with regular application.
This biostimulating treatment is well-tolerated and activates the skin's natural regeneration processes – for a fresh, healthy appearance from within.
Microneedling with exosomes combines the finest skin perforations with highly effective signaling substances to specifically promote skin regeneration. Exosomes support cell communication and stimulate repair processes – for smoother, firmer, and more even skin.
Profhilo is an injectable treatment that contains a high concentration of uncross-linked hyaluronic acid and is usually injected at 5 points in the mid-face. This significantly improves skin hydration and stimulates collagen and elastin production. Multiple treatments 3-6 weeks apart show the best and most long-lasting results.
PRP treatment is based on the body's own platelet-rich plasma, which is extracted from one's own blood and then specifically injected into the face or scalp. The growth factors contained can improve blood circulation, smooth wrinkles, improve skin structure, stimulate hair follicles, and positively influence the hair cycle.
In cases of existing hair loss, PRP can help to slow down hair loss and improve hair quality. After a hair transplant, the treatment is often used to support scalp regeneration and promote the growth of transplanted hair. For a lasting result, several sessions at fixed intervals are usually required.
Radiesse® is a classic filler consisting of calcium hydroxylapatite. It is used to fill wrinkles and lines, to contour the face, and to stimulate collagen production, offering longer-lasting results compared to other classic hyaluronic acid fillers.
NCTF stands for "New Cellular Treatment Factor". It is a mixture of uncross-linked hyaluronic acid and various vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and coenzymes. NCTF is often used as mesotherapy, a technique in which the substance is superficially injected into the skin to improve its quality and hydration.
Thread Lift
In a thread lift, special threads are inserted under the skin to tighten and lift it. The threads trigger a reaction in the tissue, leading to collagen and elastin production. This contributes to long-term tightening and improvement of skin quality, which usually becomes clearly visible and long-lasting 3-4 months after the treatment along the placed thread.
What Our Patients Say About Us
Dr. Volker Rippmann is an absolute recommendation. I am thrilled with his work. He is an expert in his field and you can truly trust him. I read his book and researched his career path. You can tell how much passion he brings to his specialty. You can really look forward to the procedure and the new feeling of life afterwards. I had a breast augmentation performed by him a few days ago. Everything was great, from the anesthesia to the discharge the next day. The amazing thing: I had absolutely no pain, not even today.
