Overview
About Laser Treatments
What we offer
Laser Hair Reduction for unwanted hair. The Corrective Photo Facial targets what is already there, sun spots and redness and broken capillaries. The Forever Young Preventative Photo Facial is maintenance, aimed at keeping new damage from settling in. Acne Laser Treatments work on active breakouts and the marks they leave. Laser Nail Fungus Treatment is exactly what it sounds like and one of the more satisfying things we do. Tetra CO2 CoolPeel is our resurfacing laser, the one that rebuilds texture.
Why timing matters more here than at sea level
Light-based treatments work by targeting color, so a tan puts the same brown pigment everywhere and the device can no longer tell the target from the background. Freshly treated skin is also more sensitive to ultraviolet for a couple of weeks, and at this elevation strong sun is most days. October through March is our window. If you ski, say so and we’ll schedule between your trips.
What to expect
Most people describe the sensation as a rubber band snap, repeated. Hair reduction takes a series spaced four to eight weeks apart, so count backward from when you want to be finished; starting in the fall means being done before summer. Photofacials often show visible change after one session but usually take a few. CoolPeel has genuine downtime, and you’ll have the exact number of days before you book.
Who it isn’t for
Anyone with a fresh tan, anyone pregnant, and anyone who has taken isotretinoin recently. Several common medications increase light sensitivity, and that is one reason the health history form matters as much as it does.
Candidacy, risks, benefits, recovery, and expected results vary by individual and are determined during consultation. This page is educational and isn’t medical advice.

Laser Treatments We Offer
Which of these suits you is a conversation, not a checkbox. We sort that out at your consultation.
How it works
We look before we treat. What you came in asking for and what your skin actually needs are often different, and sorting that out — under proper light, with your history and medications on the table — is the consultation.
The visit itself
You are in a room set up for that one treatment, with the provider who planned it. Nothing gets wheeled in from elsewhere, and nobody is being treated in the next chair.
What to expect
Before you book: how many sessions, what it costs, and how long you will look less than your best afterwards. After: written aftercare and a follow-up, usually at two weeks, to see the result and adjust.
Treatment candidacy, risks, benefits, recovery, and expected results vary by individual and are determined during consultation.

Laser Treatments — Questions
Facials and skin treatments including microneedling and dermaplaning, injectables (neurotoxins, dermal fillers, PRF and EZGel), laser treatments from hair reduction to Tetra CO2 CoolPeel resurfacing, hormone replacement pellet therapy, and vitamin and wellness therapies including IV infusions and NAD+. Each plan is built around what your skin and your labs actually show.
Yes, and it is not a formality. We need your health history and you need to know what you are agreeing to. The consultation runs about forty-five minutes and there is no obligation to book treatment at the end of it.
Every treatment is medically supervised. Nancy Walker is a board-certified nurse practitioner, and we use FDA-cleared devices and products. Safe does not mean risk-free, though, and part of the consultation is going through the actual risks for you specifically.
It depends entirely on the treatment. IV therapy, vitamin injections, and most injectables are lunch-hour appointments. Microneedling and laser resurfacing will leave you red and flaking for several days. We tell you which one you are signing up for in concrete terms before you book, not afterward.
October through March. Laser and light treatments work best on skin that is not tanned, and freshly treated skin is more sun-sensitive for a couple of weeks. At 6,920 feet, strong sun is most days of the year. If you ski, tell us and we will schedule between your trips.
A small bioidentical hormone pellet is placed under the skin and releases steadily over three to six months. We start with blood work, not with a pellet. If your labs and symptoms line up we will talk about it; if they point somewhere else we will tell you to see your physician.
Yes, through Cherry. Checking your options takes about a minute and uses a soft credit check, which does not affect your score. We make no lending decisions and never see your credit file.
