Special clinic · Skin & hairComing soon

Skin, hair & hormones.

Acne at 35, thinning hair, sudden hairs on the chin: skin and hair are often the first visible sign of a hormonal change — and are still usually treated cosmetically. We are planning a clinic that clarifies the cause first.

A consultation at our practice
Patient

Acne at 35 — isn't that a teenage thing?

Our doctor

No. In adults there's often a hormonal reason — androgens, SHBG, thyroid

Patient

How long until I see a change?

Our doctor

Months, not weeks. Anyone promising quick miracles is selling you something

Adult acne disproportionately affects women — and often has a hormonal component.

up to 40 %
of women · experience visible hair loss by the age of 70

Female hair loss is common but rarely assessed in a structured way — although iron, thyroid and androgens are measurable factors.

Clear criteria
for hormonal assessment · instead of guesswork

When androgens should be measured — and when they should not — is defined by guidelines. That, too, belongs in an honest clinic.

What we are planning

What we are planning.

A clinic that reads skin and hair as findings, not as flaws:

1
Hormonal cause assessment

Androgens, thyroid, iron and ferritin, cycle history, medication — before anyone talks about creams or supplements.

2
Classification: hormonal, dermatological, or both

Not every acne is hormonal and not every hair loss is iron deficiency. We tell you what belongs in our hands and what belongs in dermatology.

3
Treatment options with their evidence level

What is proven, what is plausible, what is marketing — including whether hormonal therapy makes sense at all.

4
A direct link to dermatology

Through our partner network (hub) we work directly with dermatology and aesthetic medicine — short paths instead of long referral chains.

Self-payAll additional services described here are individual health services (German "IGeL") — self-pay services on top of statutory care. Your regular statutory benefits remain unaffected; medically indicated services (e.g. statutory screening, the postnatal course or an indicated iron infusion) continue to run through your insurance. Prices are currently being calculated and will be published as soon as each service is fully planned. You will always receive a written cost plan before any treatment.

FAQ

What you should know.

Isn't this a matter for dermatology?

Partly, yes — which is exactly why we have the network. But the hormonal work-up is gynaecological. Both together beats either alone.

Will I simply be prescribed the pill?

No. Hormonal therapy can be one route, but never an automatism. Diagnostics come first, then a decision you are part of.

What does it cost?

Assessment of a medical condition is covered. Extended laboratory diagnostics and aesthetically motivated services are self-pay. Prices at launch, always with a written cost plan.

Until launch

No need to wait: many of these topics can already be discussed in our regular consultations today.
