About the department

The Department of Dermatology, Allergology and Venereology at the Hirslanden Clinic Meggen offers the full range of state-of-the-art diagnostic examinations and therapeutic procedures for the treatment of various skin conditions. In clinical practice, conservative treatment methods, surgical interventions and effective treatment using the advanced laser systems are successfully applied. The department also specializes in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, the department has a specialized Lipedema Center. The center deals with the treatment of lipedema – a disease, which is characterized by an abnormal distribution of adipose tissue. The department's medical team is distinguished by exceptional competence in the area of its specialization and individual approach to each clinical case. The department is headed by Dr. med. Jörg-Ulrich Fechner.

The treatment of skin cancer, allergic reactions with skin manifestations and chronic skin pathologies, such as vitiligo, psoriasis and eczema, is of particular interest to the department's dermatologists. Today, skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancers, and therefore the department offers all measures aimed at the prevention and early detection of oncology. The diagnostic examination consists of a dermatoscopy, an assessment of the skin condition using the Dermogenius® computer system and an assessment of the condition of nevi using a special digital device. The department has a modern Nevisense® device for removal of nevi. Should cancer be detected, the doctor will develop an individual treatment regimen for the patient, taking into account his clinical indications, the stage of the disease, the localization of the tumor, etc. The main therapeutic options include sparing surgery, photodynamic therapy and laser treatments. For the treatment of certain types of tumors, the department's doctors use exclusively conservative treatments, which demonstrate excellent results. The benign skin neoplasms are mainly treated with laser systems and do not require any surgical interventions.

The department performs the full range of tests to detect allergic reactions, including allergies to pollen (allergic rhinitis), pets, mold, house dust mites, food allergies, drug allergies, contact allergies, etc. To accurately detect a particular allergy, the doctors conduct prick tests, scratch tests, intracutaneous and epicutaneous tests, provocative tests, radioallergosorbent tests and other tests. The doctors have long experience in the treatment of allergies with hyposensitization. The therapy is aimed at reducing sensitivity to allergen and preventing exacerbations of the pathology.

The department also offers modern methods of aesthetic dermatology. The range of cosmetic procedures includes Botox and filler injections for rejuvenation and correction of skin imperfections, as well as improvement of skin condition using laser devices, ultrasound and radio frequency methods. The department's specialists carry out microfoam sclerotherapy for removal of spider veins and reticular veins. In rare cases, laser technologies are also used to solve these problems. If desired, patients can undergo body contouring procedures using non-surgical cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting®), as well as the procedures for removal of adipose tissue using lipolysis injections. The specialists in the field of aesthetic dermatology perform many effective procedures for skin rejuvenation, including DermaDrop®, peels, Carboxytherapy, etc.
