Hair transplantation
The hereditary loss of hair distinguishes itself by the fact that only hair sensitive to hormones falls out which seem only on the regional level. Through this arises, e.g., senator’s corners or forehead baldness. These hair patterns are genetically defined. The other hair is unaffected. This leads to the fact that hair continues to grow at the back of the head. Hair taken from this region, is specially processed and transplanted in the hairless regions.
Hay Fever
Hay fever is a widespread allergy, mostly to grass and flower pollens. We treat more distinctive forms of hay fever in our practise by hypersensitisation.
Hemangioma
It is the Latin name. It is distinct from the increasingly appearing blood spots in the body. These often appear in babies and are annoying not only aesthetically but also partly functionally.
Hormones
Hormones are messenger materials in our body. They regulate many things. The metabolism, the sexual function or the heart-circulatory system. Disturbances in the complicated system of the hormones in our body often also impair the skin. Annoying hair or acne are only a few effects which can be caused by hormonal disturbances. Hormones are responsible for aging.
Hyaluronacid
This is a substance of our own body (trade name Perlane ® / Restylane ® / injected to fill-up of wrinkles, little scars and other defects in the uppermost skin layer.
Hydroxylapatite
Calcium hydroxylapatite is a new, biodegradable filling substance which is also found in teeth and bones, and is utilized in other medical fields. Calcium hydroxylapatite is particularly suitable for treatment of deep nasolabial folds as well as for volume augmentation in the chin and cheek area.
Hypersensitisation
Hypersensitisation is a therapy with allergies. On this occasion, low concentrations of the materials is brought in touch with the immune system in order to release an allergic reaction. As the immune system gets ‘used’ to this material or substance allergens and an allergic reaction can be decreased.
