Wedding season, the class reunion, that trip you have been counting down to since January. Summer in Colorado fills the calendar fast, and a lot of people start thinking about a neuromodulator touch-up right as the invitations land in the mailbox. The catch? These injectables work on their own timeline, not yours. Book too late […]

Winter can be a difficult season for maintaining skin health, especially in Colorado, where the air is cold, dry and often windy. You may need to change your skincare products and increase hydration just to maintain baseline skin comfort. At the same time, winter offers advantages for cosmetic dermatology.

If you have spent any time researching skin texture treatments, you have probably run into the same two names over and over: microneedling and laser resurfacing. They get lumped together because they chase a similar goal (smoother and more even skin), but they go about it in genuinely different ways. The better question is not […]

If your face flushes easily, stays red long after the trigger is gone or breaks out in bumps that look like acne but don’t respond to acne products, rosacea may be the reason. This chronic inflammatory skin condition affects an estimated 16 million Americans, and many more go undiagnosed because they assume the redness is […]
