I first went to Vasu for treatment of visible capillaries in my cheeks (the Celtic curse). I had…read moretried EVERY laser or IPL within 30 miles of Boulder with absolutely no success. I then saw that Vasu had an RF device called ThermoClear which treats just about any superficial skin issue. Jennifer gave me a very thorough treatment, but I had low expectations considering all the YEARS of other ineffective treatments in the past. Well, I look in the mirror this morning (nine days past treatment) and, BY GOD, the treatment is actually working!!! All of the most visible capillaries are either gone or diminishing. I can't wait for my next appointment. I'm thinking a few more treatments will take YEARS off my skin. (Also, ThermoClear is about half the cost of your average laser treatment.) This is life-changing for me--more self confidence, WAY less makeup, more swimming and exercise, less time getting ready and, most importantly, no more wasted time and money on other useless treatments. Thank you, Vasu!!!

I had been wanting to try botox after hearing many good things about it from my coworkers, friends and family. My friend had recommended Youthbar to me as we had been talking about her migraines and our RBFs and how it's helped her. I called in I was met with one of the friendliest receptionists I have ever come across. She was patient with despite my many questions and talkative nature and when she couldn't answer my questions, she booked the free consultation for me where I could ask all the questions I wanted. My consultation was with Meadow. She was very friendly, answered all of my questions, and didn't push me on getting more done than I wanted. She made me feel so comfortable I ended up doing the procedure! It was quick, minimal pain, and I am so happy with the results! My take on all parts of this business is below. Procedures: Frown Lines - I have botox to correct my frown lines around my eyebrows. While the frown lines weren't terrible to begin with, this is a preventative measure to make sure they don't worsen over time. Pain is like a 2/10 for me and there were no scars. The effects started around day three. It was weird not being able to make my "mad" face anymore. Added benefits aside from how it looks are I'm not squinting at my computer screen, my headaches have been reduced to minimal pain or nothing, and I truly believe my mood has improved because of it. I genuinely feel happier since doing this. Lip Flip - My top lip would curl under leaving a line whenever I would smile. It has been something I've been very self conscious of and originally thought I wanted a lip filler to help correct it. Meadow gave me more information about the lip flip and we decided to try that to start out instead of the lip fillers. The pain was a little more than the forehead since there are more nerves in my upper lip but they kindly put numbing gel on before hand to reduce the discomfort. Minimal bleeding but the results ended up being better than I expected. The lip flip has softened my smile preventing my lip from coming up so high it make my lip curl and now it sits beautifully above my teeth and you can see the pink of my top lip! I'm extremely happy with it and it has improved my confidence to smile in my pictures again. Overall Experience was amazing. From the people who work here, the ease of booking appointments, and help people like me feel good about themselves, I am so glad I was recommended this place. If you made it through all of this, drop my name with the receptionist to let them know as they love google reviews!

After looking into multiple treatment options to address broken capillaries (telangiectasia) and…read moreage spots (solar lentigines), I decided on the Sciton BBL HEROic skin treatment. The claim on Sciton's website states that with their new BBL HEROic treatment, "patients can see noticeable improvements almost immediately". After additional research to find the right provider, I chose Youthbar (based on their reviews) and paid $1,200 to have the Sciton BBL HEROic treatment on my face, neck and chest. Sadly, I haven't seen any noticeable / visible improvements. When the esthetician (Alexis) texted me to see how I was doing after the treatment, I called her back to share my disappointment regarding the lack of results. Alexis then proceeded to blame me for setting my expectations too high and told me that I needed to have a series of treatments before seeing any results. Throughout our phone conversation, she kept saying, "as we discussed prior to your treatment" at the end of almost every sentence. FYI - my expectations ARE extremely reasonable due to the fact that I've had multiple successful skin treatments elsewhere in the past (including Sciton IPL and BBL) with visibly good results after only one treatment. This is exactly why I chose to have another BBL treatment (this time with Sciton's latest improved technology / equipment). Please note that I wasn't blaming Alexis, but it certainly felt like she was shaming me for choosing the Sciton BBL HEROic treatment. Of course, she did mention several times how great the $3,500 CO2 laser treatment is and how it would take care of all of my skin issues. While I'm sure it's wonderful, I had explained to her multiple times (on the day of the BBL treatment) why I didn't want to have the CO2 laser treatment at this time. So, in response to the lack of results with the BBL treatment, Alexis suggested that I text her photos showing the areas of concern and then come back in 6 weeks to talk to her and another esthetician about it (and possibly have another treatment - BBL for the face for $600). Not only is this poor customer service, but dismissing a client's concerns regarding the treatment outcome is not beneficial to anyone. This is not how you grow your business. At the very least, Alexis should have invited me to come back to Youthbar to look at my skin IN PERSON and then figure out how to rectify the situation. Before this negative ordeal, I was excited and looking forward to having other treatments at Youthbar. However, after my experience, I cannot recommend this place. Apparently, they don't care if clients are unhappy when there are no visible results and they certainly aren't willing to make it right (unless you intend on spending more money).

I strongly recommend AURA Advanced Plastic Surgery in Boulder, the practice of Nathan Roesner, a…read moreDoctor of Osteopathy (an MD who treats the whole patient), for your cosmetic surgery or reconstructive needs. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer last November, Nathan Roesner intervened during the most daunting period of my life; he helped me. To add to the hellish diagnosis, I was hit with the death of my younger sister, Maya, who passed away the very day before I visited the Aura office. Dr. Roesner was incredibly empathetic when he and I first met. He shared that he had lost a dear friend of his earlier that year. His words were precisely what I needed to hear that day. He then explained the complex phased breast reconstruction process using visual aids and sketches. The plan reassured me that I was in excellent hands. On December 20th, 2023, I had a double mastectomy, and then Roesner performed Phase 1 of my reconstruction. The following day, I awakened and immediately leaped out of bed to look in the hospital mirror. I unzipped the white sports bra the surgical staff had placed me in and took a good look at myself. The Tissue Expansion Devices (TEDs) were slightly filled. I am so grateful that I didn't have to go through the additional trauma of waking up flat-chested. My post-surgical pathology report revealed that more cancer was lurking, so Dr. Roesner had me scheduled to undergo the removal of more tissue, D[r. Roesner's surgical coordinator deserves a quick shout-out. She got me in the OR before any metastasis occurred. THANK YOU.] The more radical clearance of breast tissue led to an epically received report of NED (No Evidence of Disease)...not even any RESIDUAL disease remained in my system - (or at least none that can be detected by the state-of-the-art surveillance systems we have to date). Roesner removed some of the air from the TEDs to protect the fresh incisions from the stress of being stretched. I looked deflated, which was not very cute, but only briefly, for the air fills began shortly, eventually replaced with saline. During that second surgery, Roesner also removed a chemotherapy port from my chest that I wouldn't be needing. Having the port so seamlessly removed was a tremendous relief for me. Over the next few months, I would visit the AURA office for TED fills and facial treatments, including BBLs - Broad Band Light laser treatments. Master medical esthetician Kerri McMain performed my BBLS and other facial work. Kerri is probably one of the most careful, competent medical estheticians to have ever worked on my face, neck, and decolléte. As a licensed esthetician, I am highly selective with who wields a laser over my skin; I knew I was safe with Roesner's practice. I even brought my 11-year-old daughter in as we were struggling to clear up her acne. Not only did Kerri work on her face with great care, but she also gave us fresh ideas regarding care and prevention. With just a single microdermabrasion session at AURA, there was marked improvement in my daughter's skin. Kerri is also a delight to converse with; she seems genuinely concerned about the health and beauty of the patient's skin and overall wellness. I felt valued as a patient at AURA. The desk attendants always seem upbeat and accommodating. Dr Roesner's Nurse, Tanya, was the one who typically performed my TED fills (gradually expanding the breasts via painless needle puncture). Even with the injections, undergoing those fills proved to be some of the most incredible medical fun ever. Growing breasts was an absolute blast for me! Nurse Tanya was always a pleasure to see, as was every other individual who works at Aura, conveniently located near Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. My reconstruction has become more aesthetically pleasing than 97% of the reconstructions I have viewed. [Mind you, I am a brutal critic.] Since the 3rd surgery (swapping out the TEDs for silicone implants) on April 22nd, 2024, I have noticed that my breasts are outstanding in symmetry. They are also my preferred size -my original size- and have minimal scarring. Dr Roesner must have used some technique that looks anything like butchery. Best of all, the new breasts feel like they BELONG inside my body; they cause me zero pain; granted, I am half numb, but with consistent scar massage, the sensation is starting to return. What's a nice bonus is that I can wear almost all of my favorite pre-mastectomy bras. I had some pretty great native breasts before all of this, so the bar was set very high for Dr. Roesner. By the grace of God working through him, he managed to hit the high bar. He hit it aesthetically as well as perfectly excising an invasive cancer that would have left my daughter without a mother. Instead, I was SAVED, and I have literally been resurrected. So, I insist that you give AURA a go.

Best part is when I smile, it's an actual smile and not frozen-Botox look. FWIW, I've been getting Botox and Dysport for about 13 years.

I actually go and interview people before I commit because I am not about to walk around with a frozen face for six months because I was over-injected. I want to get a feel for how they treat their customers and I've seen it all. Boulder is lucky to have Rachel. She is on par with the spas in metro cities, which are very competitive and only those who understand a natural look survive. Can't sing her enough praises. She has a lifelong customer and that is coming from someone who won't work with other med spas in Boulder.

Before this treatment, I never needed to fill in my eyebrows, but now I have to use an eyebrow pencil every day to cover the sparse spots.

My eyebrows were one of my favorite features, and it has been incredibly upsetting not knowing if they will fully recover.
