They say spending life in the corporate world can change a person. And that’s exactly what happened to Lisa Lynn Erickson, who, after spending more than 15 years suited up in the software and financial industries, decided to combine her dream of owning her own business with her passion for healthy skin. Today at Skin Deep Denver, she blends the knowledge and experience she gained at the College of International Esthetics in Arvada with her certifications in chemical peels and microdermabrasion to brighten and balance body coverings and protect them from environmental damage. Facials for both the face and back help hydrate and exfoliate to create skin that is smooth and supple, and Image Skincare products treat aging and acne without the use of chemical preservatives or sorcery.

Stephanie Maner transitioned to the med-spa world after working with kids suffering from critical skin ailments at the Children’s Hospital in Denver. Armed with high-tech equipment, Stephanie designs custom skin treatments that range from facials and chemical peels to scar-removal sessions. Stephanie also performs microdermabrasion treatments to help treat fine lines and leave skin as smooth as the bald head of the figure on a bowling trophy, and the facility hosts acupuncture treatments and yoga classes.

After not quite fitting into the invasive world of plastic surgery, aesthetician Lynn O'Connor struck out on her own to treat clients using holistic skincare therapies. She urges clients to invest in the long-term improvements that they can harvest from doses of vitamin C, vitamin A, and peptides—ingredients she uses in both her facials and her own line of chirally correct skincare products. In addition to performing traditional facials, Lynn uses advanced technologies such as DiamondTome microdermabrasion, Rejuvalight phototherapy, and shrink rays for treating oversize pores.:m]]

Aestheticians at Suite 323 Skin Care whiten teeth, extend eyelashes, and set complexions aglow, but their specialty is hair removal. The methods they use are waxing and sugaring, the latter of which was chronicled in a humorous Denver Westword column. The author, Jenn Woheltz, was initially nervous to receive a Brazilian sugaring treatment, but ultimately declared that, "Sugaring is miraculous." The aestheticians pride themselves on performing all services with highly focused individual attention.

At Colorado Waxing, licensed aesthetician Lorelee burnishes clients with face- and body-waxing services, facials, and microdermabrasion treatments using nontoxic Vital Therapy products. She corrals her 12 years of experience to rev up anti-aging and acne-fighting facials or administer peels packed with glycolic, salicylic, and fruit acid to brighten skin. To tighten and tone faces without surgery, her microcurrent facial treatments work to stimulate drooping facial muscles, giving the appearance of lifted features without having to tie helium balloons to eyelids. But the crown jewel of the operation is waxing, which customers have called "quick and pain free."

Nouveux Wax's trained aestheticians take painstaking care to maximize comfort and cleanliness, swiftly treating the skin with azulene soft and lavender hard waxes and steadfastly maintaining a no-double-dipping policy during bikini waxes. Their 19 years of collective experience and emphasis on personal attention landed them a Top of the Town award from 5280 magazine, who lauded the "professionalism with which Krista Staggs performed this, um, intimate procedure." Between yellow, pink, and purple walls, the aestheticians help men and women comfortably shed their unwanted body hair from all areas of the body, thus saving clients from having to buy a razor dinner.
