Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Erica Linnell

Sourced directly from Dr. Erica Linnell's social posts and replies.

What is the Ultraclear laser and what does it treat?
The Ultraclear laser is a cold ablative fractional laser, one of our practice's favorites, known for treating dark spots, fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and helping to tighten the skin. It is safe for all skin types and results in minimal downtime. With deeper settings, the skin continues to remodel over time. For lower face tightening, we may use a deeper setting with laser coring.
What is the Picoway laser used for?
The Picoway device targets brown spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. It also stimulates collagen and elastin, and is used for tattoo removals.
What is LaseMD and what does it treat?
LaseMD is a non-ablative resurfacing laser that targets uneven skin tone, texture, sun damage, and melasma.
What is Morpheus8 and what does it do?
Morpheus8 is a tightening device that uses microneedling and radiofrequency to tighten, lift, and improve skin texture and tone.
When is the best time to schedule laser sessions?
The cooling weather and changing seasons are considered the perfect time to schedule laser sessions.
Are there any special conditions for the Ultraclear 3D Miracl Treatment pricing?
The special pricing of $750 per session (discounted from $950) is only applicable to the Ultraclear 3D Miracl Treatment and is valid until August 31st.
What are Plated skin science products and what do they offer?
Plated is a skin science line powered by Renewsome technology, which delivers exosomes to renew, brighten, and strengthen skin and scalp. The practice carries Plated Intense Serum, Eye Serum, and Hair Serum. These products reduce fine lines and wrinkles, combat redness and discoloration, brighten dark circles and puffiness, and boost scalp health and hair density. The Intense Serum is particularly recommended as an add-on to post-laser recovery routines, helping to calm redness, support natural healing, and lock in hydration.
What is Dr. Linnell's opinion on Everesse skin tightening?
Dr. Linnell considers Everesse skin tightening to be 'so good' and her current favorite treatment.
What is the Pulsed-Dye Laser used for?
The pulsed-dye laser is considered perfect for treating redness and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It works by targeting blood vessels and pigmentation in the skin, effectively reducing rosacea, broken capillaries, spider veins, and acne scars, all with minimal downtime.
What are the benefits of SkinPen microneedling?
SkinPen microneedling helps boost collagen, smooth skin texture, and reveal healthier-looking skin. It is safe for all skin types and is a recommended treatment for improving fine lines, acne scars, and overall radiance.
What is DiamondGlow and what are its benefits?
DiamondGlow is a 3-in-1 treatment that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts, and infuses medical-grade serums into the skin. It leaves skin instantly smoother, brighter, and deeply hydrated with little to no downtime. It's suitable for improving dullness, dryness, congestion, uneven tone, and fine lines. DiamondGlow is also an effective prep treatment before ablative and non-ablative laser resurfacing procedures, SkinPen microneedling, and Morpheus8. Pairing it with a gentle chemical peel, like the PCA Sensi Peel, can further enhance exfoliation, boost cell turnover, and more effectively target acne, discoloration, and texture.
What is the VI Peel and what can I expect from it?
The VI Peel is a chemical peel treatment that stimulates collagen, corrects hyperpigmentation, and improves skin texture. It is safe for all skin types and tones. The practice offers two types: Precision Plus & Purify, which lift pigment, remove sun damage, alleviate acne, and combat fine lines & wrinkles. Patients typically start peeling around day 3 and peel for about 3-4 days, with around 7 days of total peeling, though this can vary based on skin condition.
Who is the newest team member at Linnell Dermatology & Aesthetics?
Annie Dang, a Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C), has joined the team. Patients can schedule visits with Annie, PA-C.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$1,174

Payments

52

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Erica Linnell received $1,174 across 52 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was GENZYME CORPORATION.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
