After completing my residency as a dermatologist and allergologist at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany, with internships at Stanford University, Palo Alto and the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA, I worked two years in a large group practice in Frankfurt. From 1998 to 2008 I run my own private practice in Kronberg/Taunus near Frankfurt. After moving to Switzerland, I worked at the University Hospital Zurich for 8 years, where I directed the clinic for Aesthetic Dermatology and Laser Medicine as a senior consultant for 3 years. Since April 2014, I dedicated myself exclusively to the work in my own clinic. I am licensed for laser treatments and accredited by the Laser Commission as a training center. Aesthetic medicine and laser medicine have become my main topics in recent years. My clinic offers the full range of state-to-the-art laser devices that are used in dermatology. As President of the Swiss Society for Medical Laser Applications (SGML) I take responsibility for the Swiss Laser Congress.
