Guides to the treatments people around Boulder actually book, written for someone deciding whether to do it at all. Each one covers what it is, what it costs locally, who should be performing it, and what nobody mentions until afterward.
These are in progress. The rankings came first because that's what people needed most, but a score is only half the answer. Knowing that a clinic is good doesn't tell you whether the thing you're considering is worth doing.
Injectables
- Botox and Dysport: real local pricing (median $10 a unit), how many units you need, the Dysport price trap, and who Colorado law allows to inject you.
- Botox vs Dysport: why a cheaper Dysport unit usually isn't a cheaper bill, the conversion math at local rates, and which of the 142 local providers carry each.
- Med spa or dermatologist: Colorado holds both to the same delegation rule, so here's what actually differs and when to insist on a physician.
- Dermal and lip filler (in progress): the products in common use locally, longevity, and the complications worth understanding before you book.
Providers offering injectables near Boulder: 142 of the 235 on this site.
Laser and skin
- Laser hair removal: what a full course really costs locally (median $262 a session), how many sessions it takes, and the device question that matters on darker skin.
- Microneedling, peels, and medical facials (in progress): what genuinely changes skin and what mostly feels nice.
Providers offering laser near Boulder: 94. Medical skincare: 173.
Body
- CoolSculpting and body contouring (in progress): who it works for, who it doesn't, and the results worth expecting.
Providers offering body contouring near Boulder: 55.
Wellness and hormones
- IV therapy (in progress): what the evidence supports and what it doesn't. 47 providers locally.
- Hormone therapy and HRT (in progress): a serious topic that deserves better than a med spa upsell. 53 providers locally.
- Medical weight loss (in progress): GLP-1 prescribing, supervision, and what to ask. 99 providers locally.
These three are grouped separately on purpose. IV drips, hormone replacement, and weight-loss prescribing are genuinely different medical services with different risks, and lumping them together as "wellness" hides that.
