Put your best face forward

By Patricia Nugent

We may have just turned over the calendar on a new year, but why not turn it back? Wondering if it’s time for a little facial rejuvenation? Take the mirror test. Look in the mirror and ask yourself what you’d like to see improved. Wrinkle-free skin? Fuller lips? Higher cheekbones?

Board Certified Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Erin Ross, at VIO Med Spa in Solon, has more than 20 years of experience and is privy to all the latest advancements.

“My passion for facial aesthetics began with my involvement with the care of head and neck cancer patients,” says Erin, who has earned several nursing degrees, including a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Case Western Reserve University. “Seeing how stress and treatment affected their facial aesthetics made me want to help them alleviate their skin symptoms as well.”

Treatments that she specializes in are injectables such as Botox, Xeomin and Dysport, which can be used to treat crow’s feet, forehead furrows, frown lines, and skin bands on the neck, and dermal fillers (Restylane family, Juvederm family, Sculptra and Kybella), which help reduce fine lines and wrinkles by adding volume and fullness back to the face.

She also performs skin rejuvenation medical treatments such as microneedling and PRP microneedling (blood) facials, as well as places polydioxanone smooth threads to lift and tighten sagging skin of the face, neck, and body instantly.

“I take a subtle approach,” she says. “My clients aren’t looking for drastic changes. They just want a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.”
