Softpack®
With this application the patient floats covered in foil in a water bath. If a cream is applied between foil and the skin, it penetrates because of the pressure and the warmth much more intensely and deeper into the skin. It is often referred to as a Cleopatra bath.
The use of brine occurs in the course of balneophototherapy for psoriasis and neurodermatitis.
Solar Allergy
The solar allergy is strictly speaking not a real allergy because the immune system does not play the main role. With the solar allergy is more likely an over-reaction of the skin to certain parts of the solar radiation (UVA light) which cannot be also filtered enough by sun cream. Therapeutically a light habituation is the most successful by specific UV radiotherapy.
Sperm Investigation
The sperm investigation checks the quality of the sperm cells, as well as determines the necessary nutrients and hormones. It enables a reliable statement about fertility restrictions.
Spider Veins
They are the smallest little veins under the skin which increase and have filled with blood. Often spider veins appear in the face or in connection with varicose veins in the legs. This cosmetically disturbing situation can be easily improved by a laser treatment or a disintegration.

Are folds which always can be seen and which cannot be impaired by the mimic of the face. The nasolabial fold runs from the wings of nose in the direction of the corners of mouth and is, for example, a static fold. These folds can be treated very well with collages and other fillers.
