QUESTION - REX-KARA

Dr. Funk, you are a well-known and esteemed cosmetic surgeon far beyond the national borders and therefore naturally deal primarily with the appearance of human skin.

What do you personally think of apparatus and technical cosmetics ?

ANSWER - MR DR. MED. WOLFGANG FUNK

The first impression you get from a person is usually visual.
The interesting thing in this context is that the nature and condition of the skin play a crucial role.

The perception and thus the degree of sympathy of a person is determined to about 60 percent by the appearance of the skin.

It is known that women in particular use this knowledge and influence us male beings in a targeted manner by taking special care of their skin and, if necessary, simply applying make-up to minor flaws.

With increasing age, however, the limits of conventional cosmetic treatment become clearer. The steadily declining supply of nutrients to the skin plays an important role, combined with increasing cornification and wrinkling.

Traditional skin care with a wide variety of care products has only a limited range of effects due to its exclusively superficial application. So to speak, only the symptoms - more or less effective - are combated, without going into the root causes, let alone treating them.

The so-called apparative cosmetics deals precisely with this problem and offers extremely promising approaches based on clinically proven treatment methods.

With the help of targeted ultrasonic waves and galvanic micro currents, special cosmetic active ingredients are introduced through the skin surface into the lower skin layers.

The underlying biophysical functional principles of so-called sonophoresis or iontophoresis have been very successful for a long time, especially in medical therapy.

QUESTION - REX-KARA

In your clinics, in addition to cosmetic surgery, you also offer cosmetic treatments.

Isn't this a contradiction in terms ?

ANSWER - MR DR. MED. WOLFGANG FUNK

Our goal is to increase the general well-being of our clientele through the positive change of body and face contours.

Obviously, this is done invasively, i.e. by means of surgical interventions. Ultimately, however, in most cases this also requires further cosmetic treatment or post-treatment.

In this context, in our clinics we focus particularly on technical cosmetics with state-of-the-art technical equipment with a view to fundamental skin regeneration.

In many cases, the targeted cosmetic treatment can make an operation seem completely unnecessary or at least delay it for a certain time.

For example, we often recommend a pain-free cosmetic skin regeneration and wrinkle reduction, especially for older age or expression lines, before we use the syringe or scalpel.

QUESTION - REX-KARA

In the cosmetics industry there has recently been a growing trend towards technical cosmetics, right down to small ultrasound and ionization devices for household use, with the help of which cosmetic agents are brought under the skin surface and thus counteract premature skin aging.

How do you feel about this development and where do you think it will lead to ?

ANSWER - MR DR. MED. WOLFGANG FUNK

Due to my many years of experience combined with intensive research work, I can only welcome this development on my part.

Our world is becoming ever faster and more hectic. - What is usually left behind is our health and well-being.

Our skin has to bear a very considerable load. It is not only our largest organ, it also has - as an external protective shield, so to speak - the extremely important task of effectively defending our body against all possible harmful environmental influences.

Constantly increasing pollution, but also increasing stress levels and a lack of physical exercise in connection with improper nutrition are affecting our skin to an ever increasing extent. The consequences are insufficient blood circulation and slower metabolism, which inevitably leads to an acceleration of skin aging combined with increased cornification and increased wrinkling.

Traditional cosmetics cannot offer a satisfactory and sustainable solution from the application principle. The basic problem of all conventional cosmetic products is that where they get to, the skin has long since died. However, all processes that affect skin aging and wrinkling take place in the deeper layers of the skin under the so-called cornea. And this is exactly where conventional creams cannot get, because if this were possible without further ado, our body would be completely helplessly exposed to all other foreign substances, such as toxic substances, bacteria or viruses.

In addition to administration via the blood or metabolic cycle and injection, there is currently only one really effective method of effectively introducing essential nutrients and active substances into the skin, namely by using ultrasound and ionization devices specially developed for skin care.

So far, however, this was only possible with relatively expensive devices, which is why they can only be found in specialized cosmetic institutes or in specialist clinics like ours.

In my opinion, the latest trend towards handy and affordable devices in combination with care products specially developed for sono- and ionthoresis will revolutionize the anti-aging scene.

I think that in just a few years, similar to what we have seen with the electric toothbrush or the mobile phone - both of which were initially known to be completely superfluous by the general public - nobody who is seriously concerned with the topic of anti-aging, will get past these devices.

QUESTION - REX-KARA

Now, as already mentioned, you are offering cosmetic cosmetic treatment with professional equipment in your clinics.

Do not see a certain danger for at least a part of your business model if everyone can treat themselves at home in the future ?

ANSWER - MR DR. MED. WOLFGANG FUNK

On the contrary, we even support this. Our international clientele will certainly be happy to take the time and financial effort necessary to visit one of our clinics more or less regularly for a special treatment.

However, not everyone can afford this, and it is even more difficult for anyone to visit a cosmetic studio or even a clinic every day just to have their skin thoroughly cared for.

The decisive difference between professional appliances and the latest home appliances lies essentially in the intensity of the application, but not in their effectiveness. For example, we usually treat problem areas, such as scars, only for a short time, but very intensively. Self-treatment at home, on the other hand, is usually carried out at a much lower intensity, but can even be carried out several times a day if necessary. As so often, the secret of success is not the strength, but the regularity of use with a correspondingly low dosage.

In this context, I would like to use the comparison with the electric toothbrush again. Nowadays, more and more people have more or less regular dental cleaning done by their dentist for caries and periodontal prophylaxis.
However, I have not yet heard that a dentist would have recommended that patients avoid daily dental care at home with the electric toothbrush.

QUESTION - REX-KARA

This means that you also recommend regular skin care with such home devices to your patients ?

ANSWER - MR DR. MED. WOLFGANG FUNK

No specialist in the beauty industry can evade the steadily growing demands of its customers, who strive for ideal body dimensions and a youthful appearance. This is why we consider it particularly our duty to draw our patients' attention to this and advise them accordingly, especially if our assessment shows that there are really meaningful developments.

As I have already explained in detail, we see technical cosmetics for home as the ideal, because in our experience, the only effective addition to professional anti-aging treatment in the clinic or in the cosmetic studio.

QUESTION - REX-KARA

Which devices would you recommend to your clientele ?

ANSWER - MR DR. MED. WOLFGANG FUNK

We have been looking for a suitable home device in the new and still very small market and have only recently been looking for it
REX-KARA Premium Beauty System encountered.In our opinion, it offers a unique range of functions and treatment options and, thanks to its optimally pre-set care programs, it is very easy to use without prior knowledge.

In combination with the cosmetic products specially developed for application with ultrasound and galvanic ionization, this new anti-aging & beauty system really convinced us.
