Graz Longevity Pioneer: Inside the Clinic for Longevity & Beauty

In the heart of Graz, Austria's second-largest city and a rising hub for medical innovation, one clinic has quietly built a reputation as one of the most sophisticated longevity medicine centres in the German-speaking world. The Clinic for Longevity & Beauty, founded by Dr. med. univ. Mag. pharm. Karin Braun de Praun, stands at the intersection of regenerative medicine, precision diagnostics, and evidence-based aesthetics.

Dr. Braun de Praun is a rare specimen in modern medicine: a physician who holds dual academic training in both medicine and pharmacy, a formal Genetics Diploma from the Austrian Medical Chamber (ÖÄK), and membership in the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). She is the author of Zeitlose Schönheit (Timeless Beauty), one of the few Ultherapy® Premiere Providers in Austria, and — as DocFinder's data confirms — the most beloved female physician in Austria two years running (2019/20). Her DocFinder score of 4.9/5 from 75 verified patient reviews places her in a category of her own.

A Clinic Built on Science — and a Medical Board to Match

What distinguishes the Clinic for Longevity & Beauty from aesthetic medicine practices is its governing structure. The clinic operates under a formal medical advisory board spanning more than 15 disciplines, with scientific chair Prof. Julia Mader from the Medical University of Graz (MedUni Graz) — an internationally recognised authority in endocrinology and metabolic medicine.

This board is not ceremonial. It shapes the clinical protocols, reviews the evidence base behind each offered treatment, and ensures that what happens inside the clinic's consultation rooms is grounded in peer-reviewed science rather than marketing trends. In an industry where the line between evidence and aspiration can blur, this structure matters.

The Three Longevity Programmes

The clinic offers three distinct Longevity Health Programmes — structured quarterly interventions that go far beyond a single blood panel or anti-aging facial:

• Longevity Health Premium — €2,900 per quarter: The foundation programme. Includes comprehensive biomarker analysis, hormonal profiling, genetic assessment, microbiome analysis, and a personalised longevity protocol developed in consultation with Dr. Braun de Praun.
• Longevity Health Gold — from €3,950 per quarter: An extended intervention adding advanced imaging, deeper epigenetic profiling, and access to additional therapeutic modalities including NAD+ infusion therapy and peptide protocols.
• Longevity Health Elite — from €4,750 per quarter: The clinic's flagship offering. A fully bespoke programme combining all diagnostic layers with priority access, concierge-level follow-up, and a continuously evolving treatment plan updated as biomarker results shift across the quarter.

These are not packages sold at checkout — they are medical programmes co-created with each patient based on their biological profile, risk factors, and health goals.

Technology: From Cellular Regeneration to Non-Invasive Sculpting

The clinic's treatment portfolio spans two complementary poles: cellular and systemic medicine and non-invasive aesthetic regeneration. This dual approach reflects Dr. Braun de Praun's core conviction — that genuine longevity includes how we look, feel, and function.

Cellular & Systemic Medicine

• NAD+ Infusion Therapy: Intravenous nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme central to cellular energy production and DNA repair, administered as part of the longevity protocols. NAD+ levels decline with age; replenishing them via IV is one of the most studied interventions in the longevity science literature.
• Peptide Therapy: Targeted peptide protocols — short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules — for cellular repair, immune modulation, and hormonal support. The clinic tailors peptide stacks to individual biomarker profiles.
• Microbiome Analysis: Comprehensive gut microbiome profiling to identify dysbiosis, assess metabolic output, and inform nutritional and supplemental interventions.
• Genetic Analysis: Deep genomic assessment to identify epigenetic risk patterns, nutrient metabolism variants, and individual predispositions — enabling truly personalised prevention strategies.
• Cura Romana: A medically supervised weight and metabolic optimisation programme targeting body composition, insulin sensitivity, and inflammatory load.

Non-Invasive Aesthetic Regeneration

• Ultherapy®: The gold standard in non-surgical skin lifting. Dr. Braun de Praun holds Ultherapy® Premiere Provider status — a certification available only to physicians who have demonstrated clinical excellence and volume of treatment. Ultherapy® uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen production in the deep structural layers of the skin.
• EmFace: A non-invasive facial treatment combining radiofrequency and High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic stimulation (HIFEM) to simultaneously tighten skin and strengthen facial muscles — without needles or surgery.
• BdP Lift: Dr. Braun de Praun's proprietary facial lifting protocol, developed in-house and named after her initials.
• EMSculpt®: High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) body contouring — building muscle and reducing fat simultaneously through thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions per session. Used both for aesthetic body composition goals and for muscle preservation in longevity protocols.

The Epigenetic Dimension

A central pillar of the clinic's approach is epigenetics — the science of how gene expression is regulated by lifestyle, environment, and age. Dr. Braun de Praun's ÖÄK Genetics Diploma and A4M training underpin her ability to translate epigenetic data into actionable clinical decisions.

Through genetic and epigenetic profiling, the clinic can assess biological age (as distinct from chronological age), identify accelerated ageing patterns, and track whether interventions are actually reversing epigenetic drift. This is not aspirational — it is measurable. For patients in the Gold and Elite programmes, epigenetic age re-testing at the end of a quarter provides an objective marker of whether the programme is working.

Location & Access

The clinic is located at Ordinationszentrum West, Berthold-Linder-Weg 15, 8047 Graz — easily accessible within the city and available via appointment at +43 676 97 67 321.

For those outside Graz, the clinic's programmes can be discussed via initial teleconsultation, with in-person visits scheduled for diagnostic and treatment phases.
