Injectable TreatmentsAging, hereditary factors, and sun damage can take a toll on your skin. Dr. Richard Ecker can help smooth and firm your skin with injectable treatments which rejuvenate your appearance. We offer BOTOX® Cosmetic, the popular treatment that works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause lines to form . We also offer dermal fillers, such as Juvederm® and Radiesse®. These fillers add volume to areas of tissue loss which creates a more youthful appearance.
All injectables are done by Dr. Ecker personally. |
Laser TreatmentsWe are proud to offer an array of laser dermatology treatments to improve the look and feel of your skin. Dr. Ecker can perform laser hair removal to minimize the need for shaving or waxing. We also offer laser treatments for rosacea, sun damage, skin growths, and psoriasis. Lasers are very precise instruments which are highly effective and have a low incidence of side effects. By the use of topical and injectable anesthesia, we endeavor to make your laser session as comfortable as possible while maintaining safety and maximal effectiveness.

Peel ProgramDr. Ecker provides a very effective peel program to reduce fine lines, uneven pigmentation, scars, sun damage, acne, rosacea, and textural irregularities. This method involves removing the top layers of damaged cells so that new, fresh skin can grow and provide a smoother, more healthy appearance.

Sclerotheraphy To treat spider veins of the legs, Dr. Ecker can perform sclerotherapy. This procedure involves injecting the unsightly veins with a painless solution, causing them to close, and gradually disappear. Sclerotherapy usually takes less than half an hour and does not typically require anesthesia. The results of this treatment will take effect over a period lasting anywhere between three weeks and four months, and may require additional sessions to reach the desired outcome. Smaller residual veins can be removed with a pulsed dye laser.

Surgical Removal of Unwanted GrowthsIf you have moles or other unwanted growths, these can usually be removed with little scarring by a variety of techniques. These techniques may include excision, destruction with laser, or liquid nitrogen. Using topical or injectable anesthesia, Dr. Ecker can provide safe and effective removal with little discomfort. For each procedure that requires it, we will perform a biopsy on any removed tissue to test for any malignancy, and recommend additional treatments as needed.
