IPL & Vascular Laser Treatment

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and vascular laser treatments targeting couperose, rosacea, facial redness, and small red angiomas. High-energy light pulses close dilated blood vessels without surgery. The clinic also offers laser removal of age warts (Alterswarzen) and fibromas with minimal scarring. Post-treatment sun avoidance and high-SPF application are recommended.

Dermatologische Gemeinschaftspraxis Bogenhausen in Munich offers advanced laser treatments for vascular skin conditions and benign skin growth removal using what the clinic describes as 'modernste Operationsverfahren und Lasertechnik' — cutting-edge laser and surgical technology. The primary laser modalities are Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and a dedicated vascular laser. IPL emits high-energy broad-spectrum light pulses that are selectively absorbed by oxyhaemoglobin in dilated superficial blood vessels. When these vessels absorb the energy, they undergo photothermal coagulation and gradually resorb, reducing visible redness at the skin surface. This makes IPL particularly effective for treating couperose — the diffuse facial redness caused by chronic superficial capillary dilation — as well as rosacea-associated flushing and telangiectasias. The vascular laser targets small red angiomas: benign vascular growths that commonly develop on the trunk and face as part of normal ageing. Treatment is often achievable in a single session. A third laser application at the practice is the removal of age warts (seborrhoeic keratoses, called Alterswarzen in German) and fibromas (stielwarzen, or skin tags), which can be removed quickly with minimal scarring using laser rather than conventional excision. This laser-assisted removal approach reduces recovery time and post-procedural marking compared to standard surgical excision. Located in Munich's Bogenhausen district, the practice is led by Dr. med. Gustav Hauck and Dr. med. Anna Hauck, both dermatology and venereology specialists. Following any laser procedure, patients are advised to avoid intense sun exposure and to apply a high-factor sunscreen to the treated area to minimise post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and allow optimal healing.
