Industry Payments
Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Payments

Compared to peers
Moderate
Dr. Richard H. LeConey received $2,947 across 79 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..
What this means for your care
- A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
- Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
- Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
- A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Richard H. LeConey
Sourced directly from Dr. Richard H. LeConey's social posts and replies.
What is the SkinPen treatment process like?
The SkinPen treatment, also known as microneedling or vampire facial, involves applying a 'gold concoction' and active ingredients, using very fine, vibrating needles to stimulate collagen at controlled depths. The numbing process takes about an hour, and the applied product should remain on the skin for at least two hours post-treatment. Quarterly treatments are recommended to maintain collagen stimulation.
What results can I expect from SkinPen treatment?
Patients can expect to see pores shrink down in about one to two months, along with a beautiful glow, plumping, and firming of the skin, and improvement in deep wrinkles.
What is Dermaplaning and how does it work?
Dermaplaning is an exfoliating treatment that uses a sterile blade to remove the outermost layer of dead skin. This process allows at-home skincare products to penetrate more easily and stimulates collagen production by signaling the skin to repair itself.
What is Hydrafacial and what are its benefits?
Hydrafacial provides a deeper clean and good exfoliation, primarily focusing on deep cleaning pores. It uses a slightly stronger suction and a smaller tip for better access into facial corners, flushing out impurities. At the end, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides are infused into the skin. Patients typically do not experience a tingling sensation.
What is Diamond Glow and how is it customized?
Diamond Glow is an exfoliating treatment that cleanses pores and removes dead skin, impurities, and residues like sand, grit, tanning oil, or sunscreen, resulting in a luminous glow. The treatment begins with skin cleansing, even for patients coming from work or the gym. It is highly customizable: the pore clarifying serum (with salicylic acid) is used for congestion and breakouts, TNS serum for wrinkles, hyaluronic acid for hydration, Vitamin C for environmental protection, and brightening serum for a luminous glow. A mask is applied after the treatment.
What can be achieved with Juvederm Ultra?
One syringe of Juvederm Ultra can add volume and subtle definition, achieving significant positive results.
How does hyfrecator mole removal work?
Mole removal using a hyfrecator is a safe, effective, and quick procedure where the machine uses electrical energy to target and remove unwanted tissue. Moles can disappear in seconds.
What is the philosophy behind facial balancing with fillers?
The practice's philosophy for facial balancing with hyaluronic acid fillers is to achieve natural, refreshed results by respecting the patient's natural anatomy. The goal is to enhance harmony and symmetry, ensuring the patient still looks like themselves, rather than overfilling. This is achieved through proper placement, technique, and product choice, with the belief that subtle tweaks can make a major difference.
What areas are typically treated during facial balancing?
Facial balancing with fillers can address various areas, including the midface, chin, jawline, nasolabial folds, and under-eye area, to create overall facial harmony.
What does a customized melasma treatment plan involve?
A customized treatment plan for melasma or stubborn pigmentation typically includes a combination of lasers, hydroquinone, and medical-grade skincare. It's important to understand that melasma does not disappear overnight; effective treatment requires the right treatments, consistency, and patience.
Does SkinPen microneedling hurt and what is the numbing process?
The numbing process for SkinPen microneedling takes about an hour to ensure patient comfort during the treatment.
What is the difference between Hydrafacial and Diamond Glow for clogged pores?
Hydrafacial provides a deeper clean with its main focus on deep cleaning pores, utilizing stronger suction and a smaller tip. Diamond Glow is also an excellent exfoliating treatment that helps remove dead skin and impurities, and can be customized with a pore clarifying serum containing salicylic acid for congestion and breakouts.
Is Diamond Glow effective for teenage acne and blackheads?
Yes, Diamond Glow can be customized for congestion and breakouts using a pore clarifying serum that contains salicylic acid. The treatment also helps cleanse pores and remove impurities, with antioxidants fighting free radicals and pollution that contribute to blackheads.
How does the practice prevent lip filler migration?
Preventing lip filler migration and achieving natural results relies on proper placement, proper technique, and proper product choice, which are key aspects of the practice's facial balancing philosophy.
Does melasma ever truly go away?
Melasma is not a condition that disappears overnight. Effective management requires the right treatments, consistency, and patience, as it often needs ongoing care.
How does the practice ensure proper microneedling technique to avoid negative outcomes?
The practice emphasizes precise control over the needle depth during SkinPen microneedling to stimulate collagen effectively and ensure optimal results, minimizing the risk of negative outcomes.
