Top Med Spa Professionals in Colorado and Washington for 2026
What happened
Grit Daily named Dr. Darby among the top med spa professionals in Colorado and Washington for 2026. Her Lafayette practice serves Boulder and the Colorado Front Range with a menu that includes Botox, fillers, chemical peels, medical microneedling, laser treatments, Ultra Sculpt, and red light therapy. The distinguishing feature, we are told, is that she builds treatment plans around each patient's needs, goals, and budget rather than simply selling whatever device is nearest the door.
Why it matters
The lesson here is one of matching, not maximizing. The mechanism is patient selection: a treatment plan calibrated to skin quality, budget, and goals will outperform a generic checklist of procedures. Note that when you eventually consult any practitioner, the ones asking about your budget and expectations are doing the actual clinical work. The ones who do not are doing sales work.
Who's doing it
Dr. Darby, a former artist turned medical aesthetics practitioner, operates in Lafayette, Colorado, serving Boulder and the wider Front Range. Her background in art informs an approach combining scientific knowledge with aesthetic judgment, per the Grit Daily recognition.
Try it
- Before booking any med spa treatment, write down your specific goal, your budget ceiling, and any skin conditions you have. This is your patient selection worksheet.
- Book a consultation and ask the practitioner directly how they would tailor a plan to those three items. Expect a specific answer, not a brochure.
- If the consultation includes no discussion of your budget or expectations, walk out and find one that does. The expected outcome: a treatment plan matched to you, which is the entire point of the exercise.

Karen what's the catch
I am NOT okay with med spas using LASERS and AI skin scans on us WITHOUT explaining what they're actually DOING.
