Our Services
Conditions We Treat at Our Bay Ridge Office
Our Bay Ridge providers diagnose and treat the full range of skin, hair, and nail conditions for patients of all ages. Whether it’s a child’s first eczema flare or a retiree’s annual skin check, we tailor every treatment plan to your specific needs. All medical dermatology visits are covered by most major insurance plans.
Acne Treatment
Acne is one of the most common conditions we treat at our Bay Ridge office, particularly among teens from nearby schools and young professionals commuting to Manhattan. Our providers create personalised plans combining topical treatments, oral medications when appropriate, and professional facials to clear your skin and prevent scarring.
Eczema Treatment
Brooklyn’s humid summers and dry winters create a cycle that worsens eczema flares for Bay Ridge families. Our team identifies your personal triggers, builds effective skincare routines, and prescribes treatments ranging from topical steroids to advanced biologic therapies for severe or chronic cases.
Skin Cancer Screening
Bay Ridge’s waterfront lifestyle along Shore Road and Owl’s Head Park means more sun exposure for local residents. Our dermatologists perform thorough full-body examinations using modern diagnostic equipment and biopsies when needed. Early detection saves lives.
Psoriasis Management
Comprehensive psoriasis care from topical treatments and phototherapy to biologic medications for moderate-to-severe cases. We also monitor for psoriatic arthritis, which affects up to 30% of psoriasis patients, ensuring your full health picture is covered.
Hair Loss Treatment
Hair loss affects confidence at any age. Our providers conduct thorough evaluations including lab work to determine the underlying cause before recommending treatment. We offer TED needle-free hair restoration, a painless alternative to PRP, at this location.
Rosacea Treatment
Rosacea causes persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps. Our providers help you identify triggers such as sun exposure, spicy food, and alcohol, then develop a management plan with topical medications, oral antibiotics, or laser treatments.
Q&A from Our Providers
Real answers from our Bay Ridge dermatology team
Q:
Does pre-workout cause acne?
A:
Pre-workout products contain stimulants like caffeine plus ingredients like sugar that can trigger breakouts in some patients. If you’re noticing a pattern between your supplement use and breakouts, bring the product to your appointment and we can help identify which ingredient is the culprit.
Q:
Does conditioner cause hair loss?
A:
Some hair products contain ingredients that irritate the scalp and damage hair follicles, leading to shedding. If you’re experiencing hair loss that seems linked to a specific product, bring it to your appointment. We offer allergy testing at our Bay Ridge office to pinpoint the exact ingredient causing the problem.
Q:
Can you treat eczema with isotretinoin?
A:
Isotretinoin is not a standard eczema treatment. It’s primarily prescribed for severe acne. Eczema is typically managed with moisturisers, topical steroids, and anti-inflammatory creams. For severe cases that don’t respond to these treatments, we may discuss biologic medications as an alternative.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Look Your Best Without Leaving Bay Ridge
Natural-looking results from providers who understand facial anatomy. Every cosmetic treatment begins with a personalised consultation to understand your goals and create a treatment plan. Numbing cream is provided for your comfort, and we offer Pro-Nox (laughing gas) for patients who want additional relaxation during procedures.
Cosmetic Q&A
Real answers from our Bay Ridge team
Q:
What skin concerns does Sofwave address?
A:
Sofwave primarily addresses skin laxity, where the skin sags due to aging and the effects of gravity. Patients usually notice it most around the neck, mouth area, nasolabial folds, and the jawline. The device also has FDA clearance for treating acne scars, skin tightening around the abdomen, and cellulite on the buttocks.
Q:
What areas can fillers treat?
A:
There are fillers for the face, lips, and body. The most common facial treatment areas are the nasolabial folds (around the mouth), the cheeks, and under the eyes. Lips are another popular category. We also treat hands, the buttocks area, and other body areas depending on the patient’s goals.
Q:
What areas does Botox treat?
A:
Botox is most commonly used for dynamic wrinkles: frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Our trained injectors use precise techniques to soften these wrinkles while preserving your natural facial expressions so you never look “frozen.”
