Services
Medical Aesthetics
Our medical aesthetics services include Botox, dermal fillers, and Kybella treatments performed by board-certified professionals. These non-surgical options target wrinkles, volume loss, and submental fat with precision. Clients receive personalized consultations to ensure natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony while maintaining expressive movement.
Facial Treatments
Customized facials address individual skin concerns using advanced techniques like microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and LED therapy. Treatments incorporate medical-grade products to improve texture, hydration, and tone. Men's-specific facials focus on oil control and post-shave care, while anti-aging options utilize collagen induction and PRP therapies.
Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates collagen production through controlled micro-injuries, improving scars, fine lines, and skin texture. Combined with PRP or hyaluronic acid, it enhances absorption for optimal results. The procedure requires minimal downtime while delivering significant skin rejuvenation over multiple sessions.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use AHAs, BHAs, and TCA to exfoliate and renew skin layers. Treatments range from light peels for glow enhancement to deeper peels targeting pigmentation and acne scars. Post-care kits ensure safe healing and maximize long-term skin health improvements.
Thread Lifts
PDO thread lifts provide subtle skin tightening by repositioning sagging tissue and stimulating collagen. This minimally invasive procedure offers immediate lift with continued improvement over months. It's ideal for jawline contouring, neck rejuvenation, and midface elevation without surgery.

Report
I've been a client of Leah Nickie Advanced Aesthetics for 14yrs. I always make an appointment for the longest service available and trust Leah's expertise to treat my skin as needed. Living in Colorado makes my skin so dry yet with Leah in my life it's not an issue any longer. Advanced Aesthetics carries GM COLLINS and PCA to name a couple of the amazing products, she also follows all regulations during the uncertainty of COVID

I have been going to Leah for years and it is always a wonderful experience, she is so professional and knowledgeable with all skin conditions and ailments! She has helped my skin considerably and I really wouldn't think of going to anyone else. I recently had an appointment when they were able to open for full facials again and I felt completely comfortable with all the safety protocols and extra precautions they are taking. I would not hesitate to go again during this time.
