Our History
Science meets vision: For over 35 years, Weyergans has stood for medical innovation and holistic High Care concepts u2013 Made in Germany.
The roots of Weyergans date back to the early 1980s. During his sociology studies at RWTH Aachen, Rudolf Weyergans developed the first mechanical lymphatic drainage at a student regularsu0027 table u2013 known worldwide as the Slide Styleru00ae. Shortly afterwards, together with his wife, the biologist Dr. Ku00e4the Kreft Weyergans, the Styler Cream for self-drainage was created: the first product of a long series of innovative developments. At the end of the 1980s, the development of the first digital electrical stimulation therapy device, Octopuss, followed, as well as the groundbreaking method for targeted tissue firming in cellulite: the SPM method. In 1991, the company was officially established as High Care Cosmetics GmbH.
In the mid-1990s, the company headquarters moved to Gut Boisdorf, a historic estate near Düren. There, a true creative forge was established: here the Timeless care series based on mistletoe extracts and the revolutionary vacuum wave treatment (Vacustyler®) were born. In 1999, the medical technology and cosmetics divisions merged to form the public company – Weyergans High Care AG. Since then, we have stood for over 35 years of medical innovation, technical excellence and entrepreneurial courage, always being one step ahead. At the tradition-rich site of Gut Boisdorf, today, around 40 employees work on the development and manufacture of products that are valued worldwide. Our portfolio holds more than 30 patents and reaches people in over 40 countries. Despite this international resonance, we preserve our roots: ideas are further developed here, discussions led as at a round table, just with more experience and ambition.
Today, Jan Weyergans, son of company founder Rudolf Weyergans, leads the company in the second generation. With the High Care Longevity Concept, he looks to the future and combines the decades-long tradition of innovative research with the growing needs of a health-conscious society.
An important milestone in this development: in 2025, Weyergans High Care AG was awarded the state research seal by the German Research Allowance Certification Body (BSFZ). This officially places the company among the research-active enterprises in Germany. The award recognizes the continuous development work in the areas of functional cosmetics, device-based body treatments and longevity-oriented concepts, particularly in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
""For me, longevity means creating more quality of life: through healthy, beautiful skin, holistic well-being and a future where science and responsibility go hand in hand."
"„I don't believe in Black Magic, but in explainable causes and differentiated answers. This holistic approach is exactly what High Care® has stood for over 35 years – for effectiveness, evidence and sustainability.“
