The newest procedure in regenerative aesthetics, billed per session. What the course costs and for which areas it is worthwhile.

## How the price is formed.

**What determines the price of polynucleotides:** the number of areas and sessions; the product is standardised. The eye area is the most common single area. In price, polynucleotides are level with skin boosters and PRP – the choice follows goal and area, not price.

**How the price is formed:** VIVA DERM is a private practice; every service is billed under the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ). The invoice lists codes for consultation, examination and injection plus the material costs – the product and the amount used. Flat rates or package prices are not permitted for medical services; hence all figures here are 'from' prices.

**What the price includes:** the medical examination and consent talk, the treatment itself by the physician, anaesthesia (numbing cream if needed), aftercare information and the check-up after about two weeks. Not included is additional material if more is needed along the way – that is discussed beforehand.

**Why 'cheaper' is rarely cheaper:** offers far below market level usually mean less product, unknown preparations or treatment without a physician. Discount campaigns and vouchers for medical treatments are impermissible under German advertising law. A reputable price names product and amount – and includes the check-up.

**Insurance and tax:** aesthetic treatments are self-pay services; neither statutory nor private insurers cover them. You receive a GOÄ invoice, payment by card or bank transfer. We deliberately do not offer instalments – a treatment should be affordable without debt.

## Guide prices under the GOÄ.

| Service | Guide price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Polynucleotides, 1 area, 1 session | from €250 | e.g. eye area or face |
| Course (2–3 sessions) | from €500–750 | 3–4 weeks apart |
| Additional area (neck, hands) | from €250 | per session |
| Refresh after 6–12 months | 1 session | from €250 |
| Check-up | included |  |
| Consultation without treatment | €50 | credited |

All figures are guide prices ('from'). Invoicing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) individually; the actual amount depends on findings, amount and effort and is stated in writing before treatment. Consultation without treatment: €50, credited against a treatment.

## Important note.

This text is general information. It replaces neither a medical examination nor the consultation required before any treatment under German law (§ 630e BGB). Whether and which treatment is suitable for you can only be said after examination and consultation. No treatment results are promised.

## Frequently asked questions.

**Are polynucleotides more expensive than skin boosters?**

No, the same per session. The course is similarly long.

**Can I have the eye area and face in one session?**

Yes, as two areas; the price adds up accordingly.
