Gentle anti-aging treatments for a rejuvenated, natural-looking complexion
An insight into the non-surgical procedures offered by Dr. Christoph Jethon that can gently reduce visible wrinkles. Together with you, Dr. Christoph Jethon will discuss which method is best suited to your individual case. The aim is to give your face a fresher, naturally appearing expression.
Depending on the extent of the planned procedure, the treatment at PraxisClinic Jadore can take approximately 15 – 60 minutes. After wrinkle injections, patients are generally socially acceptable again shortly after the treatment; for procedures that involve tissue removal or a targeted stimulation of new skin formation, visible traces typically fade within approximately 1 – 3 days.
Wrinkle injections: a gentle method for a fresher, naturally appearing facial expression
Rejuvenation of the skin with injections instead of the scalpel – that's the motto for wrinkle injections. Filling wrinkles with targeted injections is a particularly effective method whose effect is also visible quickly: by increasing volume, the reduced firmness of the skin is compensated and the formation of wrinkles is reduced. For the successful treatment of wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, nose and mouth with injections, Dr. Christoph Jethon, in consultation with you, uses the following well-established substances:
- Hyaluronic acid (Teosyal®)
- Autologous fat
- Botulinum toxin (Botox®)
Wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a natural, endogenous substance and thus an important component of connective tissue. It has a high water-binding capacity, which significantly influences the appearance of the skin. However, the skin's own hyaluronic acid content decreases with age – with the typical visible consequences, especially on the face: the skin loses firmness, initially small lines appear that over time enlarge into visible wrinkles. By injecting hyaluronic acid these wrinkles can be compensated while the face retains a natural appearance.
For wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid, Dr. Christoph Jethon uses Teosyal® products, a modern, synthetically produced preparation that is particularly long-lasting and is broken down slowly by the body. The non-animal hyaluronic acid is injected by him in a minimally invasive manner. The advantage of wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid injections is an immediately visible result.
Checklist for wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid injections
- Duration of treatment: 15 – 30 min.
- Aftercare: cooling
- Socially acceptable: immediately
- Sports: immediately
- Duration of effect: 6 – 12 months
Wrinkle treatment with autologous fat injections
For the treatment of wrinkles, the body's own fat can readily be used as a dermal filler. It offers the major advantage that no allergies can occur. Autologous fat is particularly suitable for augmenting deep nasolabial folds, but also for enhancing the lips. Prior to wrinkle treatment with autologous fat injections, Dr. Christoph Jethon first harvests the fat from another part of the body and prepares it specifically for injection. In an autologous fat treatment, injections are repeated 2 – 3 times to achieve a perfect result, because a certain proportion of the fat is resorbed. With correctly applied preparation and injection techniques, approximately 50 - 70% of the injected autologous fat remains permanently at the treated sites.
Checklist for wrinkle treatment with autologous fat injections
- Duration of procedure: 30 – 60 minutes, outpatient
- Aftercare: cooling
- Socially acceptable: after 0 – 3 days
- Sports: after 7 days
- Duration of effect: permanent
Wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin – Botox®
Botulinum toxin – better known under the name Botox – is a natural poison (botulinum toxin A) produced by a certain bacterial species. The active substance it contains inhibits the nerve's transmission to the muscle and thus prevents its activity. Targeted Botox injections in the face relax, in particular, the muscles responsible for wrinkle formation.
Dr. Christoph Jethon injects Botox mainly into the facial muscles of the forehead and around the eyes. There, repeated and often involuntary muscle contractions create concentration lines, also called frown lines, as well as so-called crow's feet around the eye area. Forehead and eye wrinkles can give a face a strained or serious expression that does not always reflect the inner emotional state.
Dr. Christoph Jethon proceeds cautiously from experience when treating wrinkles with Botox, since its effect builds up only over a few days. The full success of Botox injections therefore only becomes apparent after 1 to 2 weeks. The wrinkles are smoothed and the facial expression appears overall more relaxed. The effect of Botox injections lasts in most cases between 4 and 6 months, during which time even deeply ingrained wrinkles can regress. To ensure complete, lasting wrinkle reduction, Dr. Christoph Jethon can, in consultation with you, repeat the treatment at regular intervals.
Checklist for wrinkle treatment with Botox injections
- Duration of procedure: 15 – 30 minutes
- Aftercare: cooling
- Socially acceptable: immediately
- Sports: after 24 hours
- Duration of effect: 4 – 6 months
Needling for the skin's self-renewal
Human skin is exposed daily to a variety of visible and invisible influences that all leave more or less noticeable traces. In addition to the natural aging process of the skin, stress or the sun's UV radiation also damage the visible skin appearance and the skin substance in general, promoting wrinkle formation.
But stretch marks, e.g. after weight fluctuations or pregnancy, scars resulting from acne, operations, burns or injuries, and other irregularities or pigment disorders also leave visible marks on the skin that can be bothersome or disfiguring.
For the sustainable treatment of wrinkles or skin injuries, Dr. Christoph Jethon uses the proven medical needling procedure. In needling, many micro-punctures in the skin stimulate its self-regeneration through endogenous collagen synthesis, i.e. connective tissue; medical needling increases skin blood circulation, thereby improving delivery of essential nutrients. As a result, the skin becomes thicker and firmer, pore size is reduced – overall the skin texture improves significantly and the skin looks younger. Needling treatment at PraxisClinic Jadore is therefore the ideal procedure to regenerate the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and hands, especially for:
- sun-damaged skin
- general wrinkle formation, especially on the upper lip
- scars from acne etc.
- stretch marks
- hyperpigmentation
Dr. Christoph Jethon relies on medical needling because of its many advantages: only moderate swelling occurs at the treated sites, the only visible sign of the treatment is slight redness that disappears after 2 – 3 days. The infection risk is extremely low because only disposable needles are used; furthermore the treatment is very gentle and is performed by Dr. Jethon using a topical anesthetic cream, the duration is about 20 minutes.
Checklist for wrinkle treatment with the medical needling procedure
- Duration of procedure: 15 – 30 minutes, outpatient
- Aftercare: cooling
- Socially acceptable: after 1 – 3 days
- Sports: immediately
- Duration of effect: 6 – 15 months
Dermabrasion
When looking in the mirror is impaired by acne scars, pigmentation spots and other skin changes, it can be challenging to conceal these blemishes with makeup. In such cases, dermabrasion is an effective treatment method to permanently remove such disturbances in the skin texture.
Dr. Christoph Jethon gently removes not only scars and pigmentation disorders with the dermabrasion procedure, but also fine wrinkles, hyperkeratosis and sun spots as well as seborrheic keratoses and age spots. He can also abrade superficial tattoos from the upper skin layer.
In dermabrasion, all these disturbances are removed by gentle sanding of the upper skin layer; in doing so Dr. Jethon painlessly removes dead and discolored skin cells. At the same time this process activates lymph flow and microcirculation, thereby stimulating the formation of new cells and collagen in the skin. The skin's sebum production can also normalize following a dermabrasion treatment and your face regains an even, beautiful and youthful-looking complexion.
Checklist for dermabrasion
- Duration of procedure: 30 – 60 minutes, outpatient
- Aftercare: cooling, ointment dressings
- Socially acceptable: after 7 – 10 days
- Sports: possible immediately
- Duration of effect: depending on the area of application 12 months to permanent
Lip augmentation
The mouth is the most attention-grabbing detail of a face, since a tiny movement of the lips already reveals what a person feels and thinks. Lips fascinate and enchant and are always in the spotlight. They convey much: sensuality, emotion and self-confidence. Full lips are often associated with youthfulness and vitality. A mouth with less voluminous lips, on the other hand, can be perceived as reserved, which can affect expressiveness.
With targeted lip augmentation at PraxisClinic Jadore a mouth regains youthfulness and attractiveness: Dr. Christoph Jethon also gives your pair of lips the seductive, attractive expression you desire, always in harmony with your face. He recommends a lip modeling with Teosyal®, a hyaluronic acid–based product. Teosyal® is the gold standard for lip augmentation because it is very well tolerated and its effect lasts up to 12 months.
Small correction, big effect: Dr. Christoph Jethon needs only a small amount of the gel, which he injects into the skin with a fine needle, to already enhance the contours of the lip border and increase expressiveness. He always places great value on a natural-looking result that nevertheless delivers its effect. Your mouth will gain noticeably more softness and suppleness with lip augmentation at PraxisClinic Jadore. Your lips will immediately look more attractive and already form the perfect frame for your new radiant smile even without lipstick, which will surely attract the attention it deserves!

Plasmalifting
Contact-free and at the same time effective skin tightening – the modern plasmalifting procedure makes it possible. Dr. Christoph Jethon offers this non-invasive cosmetic treatment method at PraxisClinic Jadore particularly for tightening the upper and lower eyelids. A special plasma generator used in the procedure produces an electric arc between the device and the skin through the voltage difference, which in fractions of a second removes skin tissue and at the same time tightens the deeper skin layers without damaging them.
For this Dr. Jethon uses the ACCOR Cosmetic Corrector, which he safely guides a few millimeters above the skin area to be treated, so that by removing the excess tissue he simultaneously stimulates the skin's natural cellular processes. Plasmalifting thus prevents the breakdown of connective tissue fibers in the skin and the loss of its elasticity. Through the regenerative effect, the resilience of the skin tissue is also positively influenced overall.
You can admire the result of your plasmalifting immediately – and for quite a long time, because the effect lasts up to 10 years. This procedure can also be repeated later without any problems.
Checklist for plasmalifting
- Duration of procedure: 15 – 60 minutes, outpatient
- Aftercare: nourishing creams
- Socially acceptable: after 2 – 5 days
- Sports: possible immediately
- Duration of effect: 3 – 10 years
