Dr. Richard Koch

Dr. Richard Koch is an experienced consultant dermatologist and allergist in Dortmund. As the founder and owner of the private practice ‘Haut & Haar’, which opened in 2025, he combines extensive dermatological expertise with modern diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. After studying medicine at the Westphalian Wilhelms University of Münster, he completed stages of his specialist training at the Asklepios Clinic Hamburg St. Georg and at the Dortmund practice Dr Eichelberg & Partner, where he subsequently practised as a specialist for many years. From 2020 to 2024, he served as Chief Medical Officer at the Hansaklinik in Dortmund. His many years of experience now form the basis for patient-centred care that combines medical precision with personalised advice.

Aesthetic dermatology and modern laser therapy

Dr. Richard Koch’s particular focus has been on aesthetic medicine since the start of his medical career. He has extensive experience with minimally invasive treatments for wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation, particularly with botulinum toxin (Botox®) and hyaluronic acid. He also utilises modern laser procedures and injection lipolysis. His aesthetic treatment approach aims to achieve natural results that preserve individual facial features and personal charisma. Careful consultation, realistic treatment goals and the selection of suitable procedures are at the forefront of this approach.

Specialisation in hair loss and holistic dermatology

Another key area of Dr. Koch’s work is the diagnosis and treatment of hair loss in both women and men. Throughout his medical career, he has treated tens of thousands of patients with various forms of hair loss. In the specialised hair consultation service at his private practice in Dortmund, possible causes are systematically investigated and individual treatment plans developed. Dr. Koch also covers the entire spectrum of traditional dermatology and allergology – from the treatment of acute and chronic skin conditions, through AI-assisted skin cancer screening, to state-of-the-art molecular allergy diagnostics. He treats patients of all ages. Paediatric dermatology is particularly close to Dr. Koch’s heart.

State-of-the-art private practice (Privatpraxis für) for dermatology and allergology in Dortmund

Dr. Koch places particular emphasis on allowing sufficient time for individual consultations, transparent treatment decisions and a calm, pleasant atmosphere in the practice. The focus is always on the individual and their personal medical and aesthetic needs.
