Erica's Journey into Aesthetic Medicine
Hi there, beautiful people! We're NIKS Medical Spa, a leading provider of aesthetic treatments in Del Mar, CA, and we're thrilled to introduce you to one of our amazing physician assistants and co-owners: Erica Lettow.
Erica's passion for aesthetic medicine is contagious. She's a master injector with a warm, engaging personality that puts clients at ease. But her journey wasn't always about botox and fillers. It started with a love for medicine and a passion for helping people look and feel their best.
Erica's story is one of dedication, learning, and a love for the art of beauty. She started her journey in the medical field, completing her master's degree in physician assisting at Western University. It was there she found herself drawn to the world of dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Her time at Western University fostered a deep understanding of the human body and a desire to help others achieve optimal health and well-being. This foundation proved invaluable as she transitioned into the world of aesthetic medicine, allowing her to approach treatments with a comprehensive and compassionate approach.
The Allure of Aesthetic Medicine: A Spark Ignites
Erica's initial fascination with the cosmetic side of dermatology sparked while working as a medical assistant. She witnessed firsthand the transformative power of aesthetic treatments like botox and fillers, recognizing the profound impact they could have on a person's confidence. Seeing the smiles on the faces of her clients, seeing them rediscover their sense of self-worth, fueled her desire to contribute to this unique and rewarding field. This experience ignited her desire to explore the world of aesthetic medicine further, leading her to dedicate herself to mastering the art of injecting and bringing joy to others.
Training and Mentorship: Becoming a Master
Driven by her passion, Erica dedicated herself to learning from the best in the field. After completing her master's degree, she pursued specialized training programs that would equip her with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel as an aesthetic injector. She sought out mentors who shared her passion for achieving natural-looking results and for upholding the highest standards of safety and ethics in the industry, taking specialized training from renowned experts like Lee Walker, Angela Hash, and Julia Horn. It was through this rigorous training and guidance that Erica developed her signature technique, a meticulous approach that blends artistry with medical precision.
Erica understands that mastering the art of injecting is a journey that requires dedication and practice. She recognizes the complexities involved, emphasizing the importance of understanding anatomy, muscle structure, and the way different fillers interact with the skin. She often compares the process to sculpting, but with needles and syringes! Her dedication to her craft is evident in the refined techniques she has developed over the years, enabling her to create consistently beautiful and natural results.
Mastering the Art of Injecting: The Skill of a Master Injector
Over time, Erica honed her skills, becoming proficient in a wide range of treatments, including:
- Botox: For softening wrinkles and fine lines
- Fillers: For adding volume and restoring youthful contours
- Laser Treatments: For targeting various skin concerns like pigmentation and acne scars
- Skincare Treatments: For revitalizing and rejuvenating the skin
Erica's dedication to her craft shines through in her meticulous approach and her passion for creating natural-looking results. She remains committed to ongoing education, ensuring her clients receive the most effective and safe treatments available. Erica believes that beauty is a reflection of inner confidence and that the best aesthetic treatments are those that enhance, rather than alter, natural features.
