Hey there. So I'm Dr. Erica Anderson. I am the breast and body specialist here at the Nadiri Center. And we're at the Nadiri center today in the laser room. And what I want to tell you about today is about laser resurfacing of the face. I have Ava. She is our master laser expert and she's gonna do a treatment on me today to show you you can always do something to help yourself feel better. Take care of your skin, prevent aging if you will. What I'm doing right now on my face, I have a numbing cream. We're planning to do a erbium resurface sting and going to approximately a 20 micron depth is what we're planning today. So I did want to numb for that because it can be a little uncomfortable. We do offer lighter peels for people that don't want the downtime or who don't want to numb. So you can actually come in, have your Botox treatment done and do a light peel, not require any numbing, get right back out the door, which is some pinkness. But again, the goal is keep your skin looking fresh, keep your skin looking young, prevent aging as best we can. The erbium helps with fine lines and wrinkles. It helps with acne scars. It's really just a great resurfacing laser that we're offering here at the Nadiri center. So I hope you enjoy. And here we are at the Nadiri center doing some amazing laser work. Okay, let's go, Sam. So we just completed the procedure. Again, I had numbing on beforehand. It's a relatively lighter Permian resurfacing. I feel very hot is my best description. I still feel the effects of the topical anesthetic, but a very tolerated procedure. Procedure. We're going to put a little post care balm on to protect the skin. And I'm going to be real careful about being out in the sun. This is something you can do to keep your skin fresh. If you've got more problematic lines and wrinkles. We may actually have you see Dr. Kulak to us. She's our face expert. She can do a deeper peel for you. We've got the full spectrum of anti aging procedures here at the dairy center. This is an amazing cyton laser. Super happy to have this in our armament for anti aging and I hope you come in and have it treated.
