“Words can’t even express how great Erica is! I have been to large spa’s in Las Vegas and they where nothing like the amazing experience I had at this studio. Erica is not only a book of knowledge since she is also a ER nurse but she is always keeping up on latest medical trends and research. She takes the time to explain everything and really cares about patients. The studio is so cute and comfortable it like a mini day spa but in a small town. Erica will never do anything that would affect your appearance and she always says less is more , we can build up which is so comfortable, knowing that she not trying to go big all at once. Whether your needing botox or lips she the girl to go see . You will regret it if you don’t go see her.”

“Five stars for The Shine Practice! Erica is a sweetheart and she made my experience at her office so enjoyable.

“Erica at the shine practice was polite, professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. The room is warm welcoming and very clean which to me was very important. She made me feel comfortable and confident with her ability to help with my “pug forehead”. Erica takes extra time to ensure she understands what you are wanting and to ensure accurate and painless injections. I have had Botox and lip injections in the past and was expecting pain but to my surprise this experience was virtually painless due to the technique Erica uses. I would recommend Erica at the shine practice to anyone who is seeking injectables.”

MEET Erica
Hi, I’m Erica!
I have been a registered nurse since 1999 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. After working in the Emergency Department for 18 years, I needed a change. I have always had an interest in medical aesthetics and went back to school to become a professional nurse injector. It has been a perfect career transition, I have had so much fun helping patients achieve their goals!
In 2019 I opened The Shine Practice in Silverton, Oregon - a wonderful community to bring medical aesthetics into. I’ve been able to apply my extensive knowledge of muscle and bone anatomy to help my patients look and feel their best. I am passionate about patient safety and it will always be my number one priority.
It is very important to me that I keep up my nursing skills. I continue to work in the imaging department at Salem Hospital, part time. I absolutely love being a nurse.
I am married to a Salem Fire Captain, Jeff and we have 3 beautiful daughters. We live in the country and enjoy our peaceful surroundings. I am at my happiest when I’m on our boat with my family in the sunshine.

What is Dermal Filler?
Dermal filler is a minimally invasive injection that provides fullness and volume to the face and lips.
As we age, we lose volume in our cheeks, lips and around the mouth. By replacing the volume loss with filler, you can achieve a more youthful appearance. The most common type of filler is composed of hyaluronic acid which naturally occurs in the body and adds plumpness to the skin.
Lips are the most commonly injected area on the face. Fillers can also be injected mid-face, jawline around the mouth, under eye and chin areas. Dermal filler typically lasts 6-12 months but can vary from patient to patient.
