KOSMED

What KOSMED does

KOSMED GmbH is a private medical cosmetics and laser center headquartered at Promenadeplatz 10 in central Munich, founded in 1998 by dermatologist Dr. Hans-Ulrich Voigt. The firm delivers physician-supervised aesthetic dermatology and cosmetic treatments, including laser hair removal, radiofrequency skin tightening, RF microneedling (GENIUS), thulium laser with cosmeceutical delivery (LaseMD), cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting), JetPeel, microdermabrasion, chemical and fruit-acid peels, acne therapy, PRP rejuvenation, and lymphatic compression (BTL Lymphastim). Treatments are performed by trained specialist cosmeticians under the supervision of multiple specialist physicians, and the practice retails professional skincare products from brands including SkinCeuticals, Reviderm, Neostrata, ISDIN, and Dermaceutic.

Revenue is generated primarily through unit-priced professional services billed pay-as-you-go on treatment-specific packages (e.g., ~3-session GENIUS courses, multi-concentration fruit acid peel series), supplemented by direct in-house product sales and gift vouchers. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer at the single Munich location, supported by online appointment booking through the e-cut platform, an active social media footprint across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, and Facebook, and a refer-a-friend customer referral program. The firm has been recognized among the Top 100 Beauty Institutes in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Liechtenstein.

The business is founder-owned and operated, with no disclosed external investment, no subsidiaries, and no geographic expansion beyond Bavaria. KOSMED is actively hiring cosmetologists and continues to broaden its device portfolio, with four new treatment launches between 2021 and 2022 (LaseMD, BTL Lymphastim, PRP, and GENIUS RF Microneedling).
