Hautwerk is what we do every day:

A contemporary medical work for the benefit of a healthy and beautiful skin.

Hautwerk, that is our name since 2022. The development towards a whole world for dermatology and laser medicine was an organic process.

The basis was the dermatology practice founded by Dr. med. C. Bettina Rümmelein in 2008. Over the years, in addition to dermatological expertise, we also expanded our knowledge in the field of lasers and have been passing it on to medical professionals in our Akademie since 2018.
