Injectables, Cherry Creek North

Six treatments, one way of working. Each starts with the Face Map, is priced before the visit, is injected by a nurse practitioner or registered nurse under a physician medical director, and is refined at two weeks.

Wrinkle relaxers (Botox, Dysport)

Forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet that stay when your face is still.

Botox and Dysport are both botulinum toxin products that relax the muscles pulling a line into the skin. The difference between a face that looks rested and a face that looks done is almost never the product. It is how many units went where, and whether anyone stopped to ask what you wanted to keep.

Price
$13 per unit
Typical first plan
20 to 40 units across one to three areas
Visit
About 20 minutes after the Face Map

Lip filler

Lips that have lost definition, or that you have wanted a little fuller, without the overfilled look.

The overfilled lip almost always comes from the same place: a full syringe used because a full syringe was bought, and nobody stopping to look. Our plan is written in halves. The first half restores the border and the shape; the second is added only if the two-week photographs and you both say so.

Price
From $749 per syringe; half syringes $449
Typical first plan
Half a syringe to one syringe
Visit
About 45 minutes including numbing

Dermal filler (cheeks, jawline, chin, under eye)

Hollowing under the eyes, flattened cheeks, a soft jawline or a recessed chin.

Flattened cheeks, a soft jawline, a recessed chin and hollows under the eyes are mostly about support that has shifted with time. Filler replaces that support in small amounts, in the right plane, and the plan says how many syringes, where, and in which order.

Price
From $749 per syringe
Typical plan
One to three syringes, often over two visits
Visit
45 to 60 minutes

Facial balancing

You are not sure what you need, only that something is out of proportion. Start here.

A chin that sits back makes the nose look larger and the neck softer. A cheek that has lost support makes the under-eye look hollow. Treating the symptom first spends syringes in the wrong place. The plan orders the steps so each one makes the next smaller, and you can stop after any of them.

Price
Planned per syringe from $749; most plans two to four syringes
Visits
Two or three, four to six weeks apart
Consultation
The Face Map, 45 minutes for balancing

Biostimulators (Sculptra)

Gradual loss of firmness across the face, treated over months rather than in one visit.

Biostimulators do not fill. They prompt your own collagen to rebuild over months, so the change is broad and slow and nobody can point to a feature that has been done. That makes them right for some faces and wrong for others, which is why the plan decides, not the product.

Price
From $899 per vial
Typical plan
Two to three sessions, four to six weeks apart
Visit
About 45 minutes

Skin boosters

Crepey, dehydrated skin on the face, neck or hands that make-up sits badly on.

Skin boosters place very fine deposits of hyaluronic acid just under the surface, where they hold water and improve texture without adding shape. They are for the crepey neck, the dull cheek and the hand that gives your age away, and they are not a substitute for filler or a wrinkle relaxer. The plan will say which you need, and sometimes it will say none.

Price
From $649 per session
Typical plan
Two sessions, four weeks apart, then as needed
Visit
About 40 minutes including numbing

How to choose

Three questions, for us or anyone else.

How to choose an injector, in Denver or anywhere

Ask who holds the needle

A nurse practitioner, a registered nurse under physician delegation, a physician assistant or a physician. If the answer is vague, leave. Ours are named on every page.

Ask for the plan in writing

Dose, placement and price before anything is opened. A consultation that ends in a number you did not write down is a sales conversation.

Ask what happens if you do not like it

Whether a refinement visit is included, whether they stock the dissolving enzyme, and whether a small adjustment costs a full syringe. Ours is included, we do, and it does not.

Results vary from person to person. Nothing on this page is a guarantee of outcome, and a treatment may be declined if it is not right for you.

Complimentary, thirty minutes

Not sure which one? That is what the Face Map is for.

Thirty minutes, complimentary, and a written plan whichever treatment it names, or none.
