Amazing All Around
I’ve been seeing Dr. Erickson and her wonderful staff for close to three years, starting a few months before I turned 30. My dermatologist retired and when I was looking for a new one, I read reviews for Dr. E and figured, “I can get my yearly full body check AND advice on aging gracefully? Amazing.”
So I went in for an initial consult and full body check. I explained that I was about to turn 30 and knew I was already pretty young looking, but wanted to hopefully preserve that for as long as possible. I imagine it’s difficult line for aesthetic practitioners to walk; advising a patient on how to improve their looks without hitting on any sensitive subjects and making the patient feel worse, or like they’re aware of a new problem that needs to be fixed.
I’ve never felt anything but positivity and like an “in this together” vibe throughout my various treatments at this office. I have done Botox, BBL (broad band light/laser?) and BBL Halo/Hero (forget which one), hydrafacial with dermaplaning, and EmSculpt on my abs. At no point have I ever felt self conscious or like I’m being judged.
Dr. Erickson is an amazing injector- somehow she can injects in exactly the right spots so that specific parts will be fully immobilized, but there’s still movement overall. I get most of my Botox in my glabella (I’m a furrower, and this prevents me from being able to furrow) and a small amount in my forehead. No one has ever accused me of not being able to emote properly.
The BBLs were suggested to me as a once-a-year thing to reverse sun damage and remove brown spots, with the benefit that if you do it yearly, your skin will look the same a decade from now. I can’t speak to that because I’ve only done 2 over less than 3 years and haven’t seemed to age much in my early 30s, so we’ll see, but my face glows when I get it done.
Lastly, EmSculpt: Jesus, EmSculpt sounds like it would be totally phony but it isn’t. After 2 of 4 sessions, my Pilates instructor was amazed at how much stronger my core was from one Thursday to the following Tuesday. Like it would’ve taken me at least six months of intense and sustained work to get my abdominal muscles to where two sessions of EmSculpt did. It’s legit magic.
