From 2001 to 2003 she worked as a research associate at the Department of Dermatology of the Medical University of Vienna, then completed her full specialist training in dermatology and venereology at AKH Vienna — Austria's largest hospital — between 2004 and 2011.

• Pigmentation disorders — melasma and solar lentigines

Depth in difficult skin disease Severe eczema, autoimmune blistering diseases such as pemphigus and pemphigoid, and complex allergic conditions are managed in relatively few centres. Dr. Bangert leads a university outpatient clinic dedicated to atopic dermatitis and directs the laboratory that diagnoses blistering skin diseases — so patients whose condition has not responded to standard treatment, or whose diagnosis is still unclear, are assessed by someone who works on precisely these problems at a university level.

Her approach In her own words, attractiveness is "a love of life paired with humour, intelligence and a well-groomed appearance."

Languages Dr. Bangert treats patients in German and English.
