Hanna April

Aesthetician

Hanna April graduated from cosmetology school in 2015 and went on to become a top-tier master stylist. While she still loves doing hair, and currently works at Mauve Salon in Cherry Creek, she has decided to pursue her other passion – skin. Hanna became interested in skin care at a young age. Her mother used to have her wear full protection swimsuits that covered her body and half her legs and arms. Tanning in tanning booths was an absolute no. Hanna and her sister used to love to give each other facials, and having friend sleepovers where everyone did facial masks was a common thing.

What appeals to Hanna the most about doing facials and skin care is the peaceful environment and relaxing feeling she creates for both her and her patient. Come enjoy a facial with Hanna today.

Patient Testimonials

You are worth your weight in gold. Thank you so much. My face looks amazing and I’m very happy, especially with what you did around my mouth. You are amazing.

B. D.

During my years working in the cosmetic industry I have had several different injectors… doctors, surgeons and nurses. I have to say Laura Carlsen is the BEST. She has a gentle touch and an artist’s eye, she listens to her patients and is committed to achieving THEIR desired results. Not only did get me amazing results I saw her treat hundreds of patients with the same outcome. I trust her so much that still fly to Denver from NYC (even with 1000’s of good injectors here) to be treated by her. If you are looking to enhance and freshen up your look without being “overdone” go see her, you will be glad you did.

Tasha

After 10 years of getting botox with someone else, who I really liked, I thought I’d try the “new place” that opened up closer to me. I’m so glad I did! Laura was so great. She has a gentle touch, but even better, my results are perfection! My lines are gone, but I also look natural. She took her time, talked to me about what I wanted, and gave me her advice. She was right about everything. I’m grateful and glad I took a chance on something new. I’ve found my new home. I’m telling all of my girlfriends too. See you soon, Lisa

Lisa

In addition to Botox and filler (Restylane, Juvederm and Volbella), I have also seen Laura to treat my chronic migraines and have had two treatments of Kybella!!! She really is an artist and I’m so happy to have found her!

Michele

The facility is very clean and inviting. Friendly staff. Most importantly, Laura is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable, honest, And professional. I would recommend her and her facility over any other.

Jenna D.

This is the place to go if you are wanting a little work on your skin, face or body. Artistry was well named for this business as Laura (the owner) is a true artist at her craft. There is no one else that I would even allow to give me injections than her. And she is warm and friendly-I always leave feeling better about the world.

Lisa A.

I had the most remarkable experience a few weeks ago… Laura, who I admire and respect came in on a Saturday and not only gave me a unbelievable micro infusion facial but, also botox and just the perfect amount……
She listen too my concerns about not too much! Which is a beautiful thing because a lot of nurses do what they think you need, Laura did exactly what we discussed and this is why I will always make a special trip whenever possible from park city!

Crystal J.

I have been going to Laura for quite a few years and she is the absolute best. I have sent my friends to her as well and they all LOVE her. The new spa is beautiful and so welcoming!

Artistry Skin & Laser treated me so well. Once you walk into the office you are greeted & welcomed by Courtney. She makes sure you are taken care of & offers herself in any way possible. I come to see Annette, a registered nurse esthetician for skincare & treatment. Annette is so friendly and makes you feel comfortable as soon as you sit in her chair. I recently had microneedling done, and am so thrilled with the outcome. This office is clean, welcoming, professional, and efficient. I would recommend any treatments done here. Whether you are struggling with acne, or just need a facial, Artistry Skin & Laser is the place to go! I will continue to get all my treatments here!

Charlie T.

Laura has been my provider for over 5 years. I followed her from a previous office to her own medi-spa! She is knowledgeable, her office is more than ‘Covid Clean’ and the staff always stays on point with my balances in my Alle & Aspire offers. She is well worth my drive from Colorado Springs just for her talents. Laura has new staff offering treatments and I would not hesitate to avail myself of their talents. Just haven’t had the opportunity, yet! I highly recommend Artistry to my friends and family- my sister is even a client. Please trust your appearance to Artistry Skin and Laser- you will not be disappointed!!

Jennifer

I live in the Ken Caryl area, and am so excited I found this place! I have been needing to get my skin on track for months and feel like I have finally found my answer. Laura took time to educate me on their skincare products, and start me on an easy-to-follow regimen. She also gave me a dermal infusion the help hydrate my skin, and it certainly did the trick. I can’t wait to come back for my next treatment!

A. C.

I had a wonderful experience at this medical spa! The staff is friendly and Laura was extremely knowledgeable. She treated my arms with the IPL laser to help reduce my brown spots. I also had a dermal infusion, which left my skin looking and feeling amazing! I highly recommend this office!

Caitlin B.

Lisa A.

So I went to Laura hoping she could “fix” what I had done at another facility. She exceeded what I was hoping for on results! From the initial phone call, until I checked out there’s nothing that I believe could have been done better. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, very professional, gentle and personable. I feel advice was given when I asked and i was never pressured. I could not be happier and highly recommend!

Kristen L.

I am totally confident in her abilities and would recommend her to my friends and family.

I have been going to Laura for 5 years now and I see her 3-4 times per year for various types of treatment. She is a highly skilled injector. She always does nice work and is very thoughtful about the treatments that she provides. You will know that you are getting treatment from an educated, experienced professional who cares about your satisfaction with her work. Don’t trust your face to someone without the years of experience and number of satisfied clients that Laura has. She is top notch!

M. R.

Laura Carlsen truly has a gift when it comes to skin care. Not only is she extraordinarily skilled and knowledgeable. She is very professional, listens to my needs and I always leave feeling and looking luminous, young, and completely revitalized. I have been to so many salons searching for this amazing talent and now that I have found her, I will always be a “forever” client.

Nancy

Laura has been working on my skin for over 20 years, first as an aesthetician, and now as a laser and injectable nurse. I get so many compliments on my skin. I am 80 years old and most people guess my age to 60. Her knowledge and skill level is top-notch.

Sondra

Working in the cosmetic industry for over ten years, I am very picky about where I go for filler and injections.
Laura, is by far, the best injector I’ve ever been to! She is extremely knowledgeable and always makes me feel comfortable. Her technique leaves me looking very natural and not “frozen” or over done(which is easy to do). Also, if you’ve never had Botox or fillers, she is extremely gentle. Definitely a huge plus!!
In addition to Botox and filler (Restylane, Juvederm and Volbella), I have also seen Laura to treat my chronic migraines and have had two treatments of Kybella!!! She really is an artist and I’m so happy to have found her!

Michelle

Thank you for helping me, in so many ways, reduce the haggard signs of aging. You have achieved this in subtle ways to give me the best case “natural look” of a 63 year old woman. I also greatly appreciate your gentle car, your critical eye to assess the desired outcome, and your thoughtful exploration of different options, to achieve the desired affects. With heartfelt gratitude.

I really don’t know why I ever went anywhere else.

H. S.

I just wanted to send you guys a note to let you know I got to try out my newly tightened vagina recently and even after just one treatment I noticed a significant change. I can’t thank you enough. Going into menopause so early has been very difficult and this tiny procedure has made a world of difference to me. So thank you so so much.

W.B.

I am OBSESSED. It was my first time getting filler and Laura is nothing short of a pro. I’ve gotten other injectables and spas before, and the vibe here is way more professional. You feel like you are receiving a legitimate medical procedure, and the results speak for themselves. Amazing pricing too. Literally everyone in this building was such a sweetheart and made me feel so welcome. Front desk has amazing customer service, and the injectors here are top notch. Obsessed with my results. Thank you Laura and team!!!

Nicole C.

As a 52 year old female, I began seeing all the fun signs of menopause. Lack of sleep, weight gain, irritability, decreased libido. Laura tested my blood work and came up with a customized hormone regimen. I noticed the improvement in sleep almost immediately, and other symptoms improved shortly after. Laura is very knowledgeable and thoughtful in her approach to balancing hormones and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Thank you Laura!

Had my first pellet procedure at Artistry Hormone Health today. I was a bit anxious, but it did not hurt at all. I felt the Botox treatment more than the pellet procedure.

Doing hormones has definitely helped me keep the weight off and my waistline from expanding. Between Laura educating me about my diet and the hormones, I have lost several inches from my waistline.

Laura nailed my thyroid medication. I kept complaining to my doctor that I didn’t feel right and felt fatigued, but she kept telling me I was within normal range. Laura made one adjustment and it made all the difference.
