## Training and qualification.

Katayoun Mostaghimi completed her **medical studies at the University of Duisburg-Essen** and went on to finish her **specialist training in general medicine**. Her interest in aesthetic procedures began during her studies, and she trained specifically in that field afterwards.

As a **physician certified by the German Society for Aesthetic Botulinum Toxin Therapy (DGBT)** she works to that society's professional standards. Aesthetic medicine is medical work: every treatment starts with an examination, a consultation and an assessment of whether a procedure is suitable at all in your case.

Her main areas of work are **botulinum toxin**, **hyaluronic acid fillers** and **infusion therapy**.

## Qualifications in brief.

- **Title:** Specialist in general medicine
- **Certification:** DGBT
- **Studies:** University of Duisburg-Essen
- **Practice:** Essen-Rüttenscheid

## How treatment works here.

Every treatment starts with a **conversation**: what bothers you, what do you expect, what makes medical sense – and what does not? Sometimes the outcome of that conversation is advice against treatment.

The aim is a **natural result**. Dosage and technique are matched to your anatomy and facial expression so your own expression is preserved. **Effect, durability, possible side effects and alternatives** are discussed openly beforehand.

Treatments are carried out **by the physician herself** – consultation, injection and follow-up stay in one pair of hands. Appointments are by arrangement so there is enough time.

The practice treats patients in German, English and Farsi.
