We recently had some photos of the team taken at the office, and I loved seeing them back! The experience made me reflect on how everything we do to care for you is founded in teamwork.

Your first (and last!) point of contact is Lisa, our front desk mastermind who juggles our schedule, fields your inquiries and books in the next part of your treatment. When you thank me for fitting you in, the props go to Lisa!

My patients know Claudia and her solid work ethic well, as she wears the many hats of documenting your results, prepping you for your treatment, “air traffic controller” keeping me running on time, reviewing your aftercare and checking on you after treatments. And she does just as much behind the scenes to make sure your visit is as enjoyable as possible and your results as satisfying as can be.

We just welcomed Corliss to the team. She brings a wealth of experience from working in various clinical environments, a can-do attitude and is picking things up very quickly. We look forward to you meeting her at your next consultation or treatment!

Did you know?

Often noticed as dark spots on the lip, venous lakes are dilated veins that tend to occur on the lower lip.

They can be sealed safely and effectively with an NdYAG laser – and treatment is often one-and-done.

Curious to treat your venous lake? Get in touch with our office today! Head to the link in bio to request your consultation.

During her follow-up for her hyaluronic acid injectable treatment, my patient shared: "I just did my retirement budget planning, and I have a "Dr Richer" line item!" We had a good laugh at how organized she is!

But hours later, I kept thinking about that interaction. Retirement planning is a time where individuals plan out what matters to them for their future. It felt really special to hear that our cosmetic dermatology treatments are seen as a valuable long-term investment, and not an afterthought or an isolated indulgence.

It's no surprise that our patients who plan for the long-term get the best outcomes.

Planning ahead for your best skin yet? Let’s map out a treatment plan that fits your goals — book your consultation today.

Treating keloids is a huge part of my practice, and this one was a great challenge to take on.

Under local anesthetic, the keloid was excised surgically, and its base treated with an ablative laser to precisely respect the shape of the ear. Scar injection was performed per-operatively.

After 2 weeks of recovery, the appearance is greatly improved. But the most important monitoring and work starts now – at any sign of itch, irritation or start of growth, a visit to the clinic is required. Best to do a scar injection early to avoid the need for surgical debulking/laser treatment.

This keloid has recurred twice after traditional excisions prior to seeing us – having close monitoring this time around is crucial.

Considering laser treatment?⁠
⁠
There is no better time to recover from a laser procedure than when it is easy to stay out of direct sunlight!⁠
⁠
Here's how our patients prep for laser treatment: ⁠
⁠
✔️Review the written information and consent forms well ahead of your procedure⁠

✔️Shield your skin from the sun: if you arrive excessively tanned, your treatment may have to be postponed for your safety⁠

✔️Do not apply make-up to the treatment area ⁠

✔️Plan for the social downtime that was discussed, if any⁠

✔️Relax! We will talk you through the entire experience

During your consultation where we discuss your acne scars, I will examine your skin and determine the distribution, severity and type of acne scars we are facing.

Of ice-pick scars (small and deep), boxcar scars (punched out) or rolling scars (irregular shadows), ice-picks are the most challenging to treat.

We may choose to use the CROSS technique to your treatment plan, which stands for chemical reorganization of skin scar.

A chemical peeling agent is applied at the bottom of the scar and heals with a crust over about a week, leaving collagen behind and turning the scar into a progressively shallower version of itself.

Expect to commit to a series of treatments, like this patient in the Before & Now photo who had 4 treatments.

I know – I just can’t shut up about combination treatments. Yes – more complete outcomes, and yes – treating multiple things simultaneously. For a lot of our patients, it is also about “condensing” recovery time into a single episode.

I love sharing these “day-by-day” recovery images so our patients know what to expect. Here, this combination Fraxel 1927 nm laser resurfacing and Tixel treatment for eyelids was a touch more than a 7-day recovery.

This combination targets sun damage, pore size and dullness while improving skin texture - including for delicate eyelid skin.

Ask us about combination treatments during your consultation.

You guessed it ~ all three of these treatments have virtually no downtime!⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Neuromodulators (like Botox), Laser Genesis, and Picotoning have minutes to hours of downtime only. ⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Whether it is to treat yourself or as part of your prevention/maintenance plan, ask us during your next visit if you are a good candidate!⁠
