General Dermatology in Denver
Comprehensive skin care in Denver — from medical conditions to cosmetic procedures, all under one physician-led practice.
At a Glance
Our general dermatology services in Denver cover both medical and cosmetic skin care, from diagnosing and treating conditions like acne, eczema, and skin cancer, to procedures like Botox, fillers, and vein treatments. Every visit begins with a physician consultation to determine the right path for your specific skin concern, whether that’s medical treatment, a cosmetic procedure, or both.
One practice, two sides of skin health
Dermatology tends to get split into two very different conversations — the medical side, which is about diagnosing and treating conditions affecting your skin’s health, and the cosmetic side, which is about how your skin looks and feels. Most patients need both at different points in their life, but few practices are set up to genuinely offer both under one roof with the same physician-led standard of care.
Our general dermatology services are built around that reality. Whether you’re dealing with a persistent rash, a mole you want evaluated, or you’re interested in Botox or a vein treatment, care starts the same way: with a consultation that takes your full skin health into account, not just the single concern that brought you in.
Medical vs. Cosmetic Dermatology
Dermatology in Denver covers two very different kinds of care. Here's how medical and cosmetic dermatology differ — and how that shapes what your consultation looks like.
| Attribute | Medical Dermatology | Cosmetic Dermatology |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions | Enhancing or refining skin appearance |
| Typical concerns | Acne, eczema, psoriasis, infections, skin cancer, moles | Fine lines, volume loss, unwanted veins, excessive sweating |
| Insurance coverage | May be covered when medically necessary, depending on your plan | Typically self-pay; not usually covered by insurance |
| Example services | Skin cancer screening, rash evaluation, mole checks | Botox, fillers, sclerotherapy, hair transplantation |
| Consultation focus | Diagnosis and treatment of an existing condition | Discussing goals and desired aesthetic outcome |
Medical dermatology: diagnosing and treating skin conditions
Medical dermatology covers the conditions that affect the health, function, or appearance of your skin, hair, and nails — many of which are common, some of which require timely evaluation. Left unaddressed, certain skin conditions can affect quality of life significantly, and a small number (like skin cancer) carry real health risk if not caught and treated early. That’s why a thorough evaluation matters, even for concerns that might seem minor at first.
Conditions We Treat
Our medical dermatology services in Denver cover a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions, including:
| Condition | What It Involves |
|---|---|
| Acne | Breakouts caused by clogged pores, excess oil, bacteria, or hormonal factors |
| Rashes | Skin irritation from allergens, irritants, or underlying conditions |
| Psoriasis | A chronic condition causing scaly, inflamed patches of skin |
| Eczema | Chronic dry, itchy, inflamed skin, often linked to sensitivity or allergy |
| Fungal Infections | Infections of the skin, nails, or scalp caused by fungal organisms |
| Bacterial Infections | Skin infections requiring diagnosis and, when appropriate, treatment |
| Skin Cancer | Screening and evaluation of suspicious lesions; early detection is critical |
| Warts | Skin growths caused by viral infection, evaluated for appropriate removal |
| Moles | Evaluation of new, changing, or concerning pigmented spots |
| Cysts | Fluid- or tissue-filled growths beneath the skin, evaluated for treatment |
| Hair Loss | Evaluation of thinning or shedding linked to hormonal, genetic, or scalp factors |
Skin cancer screening deserves a particular note: regular evaluation of moles and unusual growths is one of the most important things you can do for long-term skin health, since early detection significantly improves outcomes. If you’ve noticed a new or changing mole, spot, or growth, that’s worth bringing up at your consultation regardless of what else you’re being seen for.
The same is true for hair and scalp concerns, which are evaluated here as well — for a closer look at treatment options, visit our guide to hair restoration.
Cosmetic dermatology: procedures for how your skin looks and feels
Cosmetic dermatology covers procedures aimed at enhancing appearance, addressing signs of aging, or improving comfort and confidence — all performed under the same physician-led standard as our medical services.
Cosmetic Dermatology & Procedures
Our cosmetic dermatology services in Denver are designed to enhance appearance and confidence, including:
| Procedure | What It Involves |
|---|---|
| Botox | Injectable treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles |
| Fillers | Injectable treatment that restores volume and softens facial contours |
| Laser Treatments | Light-based procedures that address skin texture, tone, redness, and unwanted hair |
| Micro-needling | Minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture and scarring |
| Vein Treatments (Sclerotherapy) | Injectable treatment that reduces the appearance of spider and varicose veins |
| Excessive Sweating | Treatment options to reduce symptoms of hyperhidrosis |
| Hair Transplantation | Procedure to restore hair density in areas of thinning or loss |
| Liposuction | Procedure to remove localized fat deposits and refine body contours |
| Hormone Replacement Therapy | Physician-managed hormone optimization; see our dedicated HRT page for details |
Every cosmetic procedure begins with a consultation to make sure it’s an appropriate fit for your skin, health history, and goals — results vary by individual, and your provider will walk you through realistic expectations before any procedure is scheduled. If your goals lean toward a more regenerative approach, our guide to stem cell therapy covers how cellular-based treatments support tissue repair and long-term results.
What to Expect
Whether you're addressing a medical concern or exploring a cosmetic procedure, your visit follows a consistent, physician-led process:
One practice for medical and Cosmetic skin health
Splitting your skin health across multiple providers — a dermatologist for medical concerns, a separate med spa for cosmetic procedures — often means no single provider has a complete picture of your skin. Our general dermatology services are built around the opposite approach: one physician-led practice that treats both, with continuity across every visit.
Whether you’re managing a chronic condition like eczema, being evaluated for a new mole, or interested in Botox or a vein treatment, your care is grounded in an ongoing understanding of your skin — not treated as a series of disconnected visits.
