Ricke, P Scott, Md - Institute For Aesthtc Medicine

the lady who works in the office and does the microdermabrasion and pore cleansing is top notch. more

Suzie Savage the estetician is great. She is knowledgeable and pleasant. I have been seeing her for microdermabrasion and ultrasonic cleaning for years.\r Dr. Scott Ricke is professional and explains everything he is about to perform. I have been going to him for the past years for IPL treatments. I would never see anyone besides Suzie and Dr. Ricke for my facial treatments. more

I have been going to Dr. Ricke for 7 years and cannot say enough praise of the services he provides. He listens to me when I tell him what I hope to achieve, addresses any concerns I may have, educates me on my options and advises me on what procedure will best achieve the results I desire. He is also honest and straight forward and will tell me if my expectations are unrealistic. I feel very comfortable talking with him. I have been very satisfied with Dr. Ricke. Because of him, I look almost a decade younger than I am and date a man 17 years my junior. more

Fantastic service! I'm getting IPL treatments from a Groupon. The service has been thorough, timely and successful. I've had IPL previously so I don't have much hyperpigmentation left to take off but the IPL really helps with my pores and skin tone in general. There is no down time after each procedure. Would highly recommend to anyone! more

Ive been going there for botox and laser removal for over 4 years, nothing but good experiences. more

Over years of sun exposure and hormone changes due to pregnancies, the skin on my face had become blotchy with dark pigmentation over my upper lip (like a mustache) and other areas of my face. I was considering undergoing photo facial treatments which would have been very pricey and would have required several trips treatments. When I went in for a consultation at The Institute for Aesthetic Medicine, I was told that I would achieve the results I wanted with a chemical peel (which cost about a 3rd less). \r more

I saw their ad in the reader for Laser hair removal on SALE due the the lagging economy and, on a whim, gave a call. Ended up going in there and buying 10 sessions of hair removal for a little under $800.00, which should have my hair area completely gone, a great bargain if you consider the cost and pain of waxing regularly :P Most people need 5-6 but I have thick hair! You have to go back every 4-6 weeks for another treatment so this should be a yearlong process. I was told by some that it would be painful but it was nothing compared to a wax!! One treatment took less than 15 pain-free minutes. \r They offer a lot of other services here, another thing I discovered prompted by that Reader ad was Microdermabrasion and the subsequent pore-cleansing process. OMG! I am never getting a regular facial again, since all I really wanted from facials were the extractions which they usually would do MINIMALLY at other institutions. I am going to keep coming back to the Institute because for under $100.00 I can get the Microderm (which does not hurt at all...feels like a cat tongue licking your face all over)...and then she is able to take all of the gunk out of the pores, and it's AMAZING!!! Gets your pores so much cleaner than any facial ever will. \r My face and future hairlessness thank the Reader for my discovery of this Solana Beach Gem!! more

I recently visited your office because I had an upcoming job interview. It was very important to know that my appearance and age would not work against me on the Big Day!! I landed the position and have even continued the job search due to my new found confidence!!!! Thank you and your staff for making all of this possible. more

I have been seeing Dr. Ricke since 2004. I had gotten burned on my face from a portable outdoor heater. It was my face and it looked terrible. I needed to do something and maybe even plastic surgery. I made an appointment to see Dr. Ricke and within 6 months the scar was gone and done without any surgery. I now see Dr. Ricke reguraly for all my IPL's, botox and fillers. He has very gentle hands and makes me feel very comfortable when having my procedures done. He is very knowledgable about what he does and explains in detail. more
