About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, Allergology at the DKD HELIOS Clinic Wiesbaden offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in the areas of its specialization. The doctors of the medical facility focus on the patients with skin diseases, including skin manifestations of allergic reactions. The department also successfully carries out aesthetic dermatological procedures to improve the condition of the skin and rejuvenate it. The department's specialists are especially interested in the treatment of benign and malignant skin tumors. The doctors working in the department admit both adults and children. The department offers all advanced therapeutic methods, running from drug treatment with tablets, creams and ointments to surgical interventions, including flap plastic surgery, laser therapy, photodynamic therapy and phototherapy. The department also provides emergency medical care. The doctors working in the medical facility strictly observe modern clinical protocols, and also take into account the recommendations of the German Society for Dermatology. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Christiane Bayerl.
The dermatologists of the department are especially interested in the treatment of malignant skin tumors. The most common cancers in dermatology are melanoma and basalioma. The choice of tactics for treating skin cancer depends on the type of tumor, its size, location, as well as on the patient's age and his general health condition. In most cases, the first-line treatment is the surgical resection of the tumor. The department's specialists successfully perform Mohs micrographic surgery, which is the gold standard of surgical treatment of skin cancer. Mohs surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia. The main difference between the Mohs surgery and the classical surgical resection is that the tumor is removed in stages, with histological control of the edges of the surgical wound after each stage and determination of the spread of the tumor into the adjacent tissues. Mohs micrographic surgery provides total tumor removal with minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue, which is its main benefit over other surgical techniques. In addition, this technique allows achieving a good aesthetic result, which is especially important when removing tumors in the face and neck. When fighting skin cancer, the specialists actively use laser surgery, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and other types of treatment. The therapeutic process involves oncologists, chemotherapists and radiation therapists who together with dermatologists develop a comprehensive treatment regimen for each patient. It is the individual approach to each clinical case, the professionalism and experience of doctors, as well as their well-coordinated work that allows them to work wonders curing the most complex forms of skin cancer.
The department effectively treats such chronic and inflammatory skin diseases as eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus, prurigo, vitiligo and many others. As of today, the most effective treatment for the above diseases is phototherapy. This technique is widely used in the department, and therefore doctors successfully select the optimal course of therapy for each patient and competently combine phototherapy with other medical procedures to ensure a high-quality result. Phototherapy involves the use of ultraviolet light, which is also present in sunlight. The equipment for phototherapy uses special lamps that provide the application of several types of radiation at once – ultraviolet, infrared and visible. Prior to phototherapy, the attending physician always determines whether this procedure is safe for a particular patient. The treatment can be provided both in the hospital and at home using special equipment.
The department also provides services in the field of aesthetic dermatology. It offers CO2 laser resurfacing, Nd:YAG laser therapy (for example, to remove spider veins, hemangiomas), epilation, chemical peels (superficial, medium and deep), facial cleansing for acne, treatments for hair loss, hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin injections for the treatment of wrinkles.
An integral part of the department's clinical practice is the treatment of skin manifestations of allergic pathologies. The department is mostly visited by the patients with allergies to drugs, food, photodermatoses, urticaria, angioedema and occupational skin diseases. The first step is the diagnostics to identify a specific type of allergy and its causes. To do this, the specialists carry out skin prick tests, skin scratch tests, epicutaneous and intracutaneous skin tests, nasal, oral and subcutaneous provocation tests. The purpose of all tests is to identify hypersensitivity to any substance (allergen) for subsequent specific therapy. The main treatment methods in the arsenal of the department's medical team are allergen-specific immunotherapy and desensitization.
The department provides both diagnostics and treatment of the following diseases:
- Allergic diseases
- Drug allergy
- Food allergy
- Insect allergy
- Photodermatoses

About hospital
The DKD HELIOS Clinic Wiesbaden has long made a name for itself in the international medical arena by introducing an optimal model of medical care, combining the use of the most advanced medical technologies, the experience of highly qualified doctors and impeccable quality of patient care. The medical facility first opened its doors to patients in 1970. The world famous Mayo Clinic Rochester in America served as a model for the design of the medical complex. Since the foundation of the clinic, the main direction of its activities has been comprehensive diagnostics of complex diseases integrated into an interdisciplinary treatment concept. Today, an integral part of clinical practice is also preventive diagnostics aimed at the early detection of pathological changes in the human body. In recent years, the clinic has been actively developing the direction of surgery, in which it has significantly succeeded. The clinic enjoys a reputation as one of the best medical facilities in Europe in the field of endocrine and colorectal surgery, as well as in hernia repair surgery.
The clinic has 24 specialized departments. Each of them offers a team of experienced doctors, whose main value is the patient's health. The work of all doctors of the medical facility is based on a single credo – "Treat not a disease, but a patient". According to this belief, the course of treatment should be as individual as possible, taking into account the patient's physical characteristics, lifestyle, diet, emotional state, etc.
The clinic's bed capacity consists of 138 inpatient beds and 60 beds in a day hospital. Many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. The diagnostic and treatment rooms, like the operating rooms of the clinic, are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure the observance of strict hygiene and safety standards. The advanced medical equipment allows detecting the slightest changes in the functioning of organs and their structure with impeccable accuracy, thanks to which doctors can diagnose complex pathologies at the very early stages. This greatly increases the chances of a successful cure.
The location of the clinic in Wiesbaden, known as one of the oldest thermal spas in Europe, is another pleasant advantage for the patients. Arriving at the clinic for a preventive diagnostic examination, one can improve his health in the healing thermal springs, as well as enjoy the sightseeing of historical monuments. The medical center is located in the immediate vicinity of the English style Spa Park founded in the distant 1852, so in the free time from medical procedures one can take a pleasant walk in the beautiful park.
