How do I know which treatment is right for me?
We perform comprehensive skin analysis and assess your concerns, skin type, goals, and medical history. We create customized treatment plans, often combining therapies for optimal results.
Yes. Our advanced laser systems and customized protocols ensure safe treatment for all skin types and tones. Different wavelengths and settings protect melanin while achieving results. Dr. Verebelyi’s expertise as a Fellow and Instructor for the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery ensures precise, individualized parameters.
Natural enhancement is our specialty. We prioritize subtle refreshment over dramatic change. Dr. Verebelyi’s medical artistry and 20+ years of experience ensure treatments enhance features while maintaining your unique expressions. Most patients hear they look refreshed or well-rested without others identifying specific treatments.
Medical-grade treatments use prescription-strength products and advanced technology penetrating deeper skin layers for significant, lasting results. Our medical providers have extensive training and credentials to safely deliver higher-intensity treatments. CO₂ resurfacing, RF microneedling, and medical injectables require medical supervision beyond spa-level services. Some improvements are immediate, but full results usually appear gradually over several weeks.
Common temporary side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at treatment sites. Injectables may cause mild bruising for 3-7 days. Laser treatments can cause temporary redness lasting hours to days. CO₂ resurfacing involves planned skin peeling during healing. Serious complications are rare when treatments are performed by qualified medical professionals. We discuss specific risks during consultation.
Absolutely. Popular treatments include Botox for forehead lines and crow’s feet, dermal fillers for volume loss, laser hair removal (back, chest, neck), CO₂ resurfacing for sun damage and texture, laser treatments for redness and rosacea, and CoolSculpting for stubborn fat. We customize treatments to maintain masculine features while addressing concerns.
Yes. We recommend starting with a comprehensive consultation to assess concerns, discuss options, and create a personalized treatment plan. Consultations allow you to meet our team, tour our facility, ask questions, and understand pricing before committing. We take time to ensure treatments align with your goals and expectations.
What's the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox and similar neuromodulators relax muscles that cause expression lines like crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. Dermal fillers add volume to smooth static lines, plump lips, or restore fullness to cheeks. Many patients benefit from both treatments in different facial areas.

Results typically last 6-18 months depending on the product used, treatment area, metabolism, and individual factors. Lips metabolize filler faster; deeper areas like cheeks last longer.

Specialized applicators deliver precise, controlled cooling to targeted fat deposits. Fat cells freeze and crystallize at specific temperatures, triggering a natural cell death process. Over the following weeks, your body’s lymphatic system processes and permanently eliminates these dead cells, reducing fat in the treated area by up to 20–25% per session.

Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction. Most patients achieve 80-95% reduction after 4-6 treatments. Hair that regrows is typically finer, lighter, and sparser. Maintenance treatments may be needed long-term depending on hormonal factors.

No problem. We’re happy to provide treatment for self-pay patients. We provide detailed pricing during consultation and offer financing options to make care accessible.
How do I prepare for treatment?
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for 5-7 days before treatment to minimize bruising, unless medically necessary. Stop retinoids 3-5 days before laser treatments. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2-4 weeks before laser procedures. Arrive hydrated with clean skin. Eat a regular meal before vein procedures. We provide detailed pre-treatment instructions specific to your procedure when scheduling.
Most patients return to work the same day. We recommend walking immediately after vein treatments to promote circulation. Avoid vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, and high-impact activities for 3-7 days post-vein treatment. After aesthetic treatments, you can resume normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous workouts for 24 hours after injectables. Specific restrictions depend on your procedure—we provide detailed aftercare instructions.
Most procedures involve minimal discomfort. We use topical anesthetics, local numbing, and advanced cooling technology. Vein treatments cause only slight pressure. Injectables feel like brief pinpricks. Lasers create temporary warmth or tingling. Post-treatment tenderness, redness, or swelling typically resolves within days.
Yes. All our laser systems, energy-based devices, and injectable products are FDA-approved or cleared for their intended uses. We invest in proven, medical-grade technology and follow strict safety protocols.

Angel Croce, Staff Manager at Colorado Skin & Vein in Denver

Angel Croce

Staff Manager

Angel has been in healthcare for more than 20 years. Her journey began in 2004, after her father suddenly passed away from a stroke. Losing him was a life-changing experience, and it inspired her to choose a career where she could help others and give patients and their families the care, compassion, and support they need during difficult times.

Throughout her career she has worked across cardiology, neurology, family practice, and urgent care — each experience helping her grow both personally and professionally. She now works in vascular care and aesthetics, where she enjoys building relationships with her patients, helping them understand their care, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Angel is a proud mom of two. Family is incredibly important to her, and in her spare time she loves being outdoors with her husband and their two dogs — hunting, fishing, and enjoying Colorado.

For Angel, healthcare is more than a career — it is personal. What started as a way to honor her father’s memory has become more than two decades of caring for others, and she is grateful to keep doing something that means so much to her every day.
