German term or phrase: Ampullenkur
" Ampullenkur gegen die Zeichen der Zeit." "Einmal im Monat eine Ampullenkur auflegen" "Eine Ampulle reicht für einen glättenden Auftrag."

It is not clear for me if it's the product, substance or??? In some context, it talks about Ampullen as the shape of the products. But Ampullen can be a disease, is that right?

Sorry, got distracted by the disease part of you question.

Ampoule treatment is one of the options for the complete term.

treatment with medical ampoules


Explanation:
In Germany, many people take a "cure", i.e. a week-long treatment, of substances such as calcium by breaking open and drinking an ampoule every day. Ampulle is definitely NOT a disease!
