laser treatments \u2014 physician-directed, precision-calibrated, and designed for real results at altitude.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"booking-banner\">\n <p>Now booking laser appointments

Laser<\/div>\n <h2>Light-Based Treatments That<br>Do What Skincare Cannot<\/h2>\n <p>Laser treatments work at a level that topical products and even most aesthetic treatments simply can't reach. Depending on the wavelength and technology used, laser energy can target pigment deep in the skin, disable hair follicles permanently, close unwanted blood vessels, and stimulate collagen remodeling in ways that produce lasting structural change.<\/p>\n <p>At La Ru, every laser treatment is physician-directed and calibrated for your specific skin type, tone, and concern. High altitude means higher UV exposure, more dramatic temperature swings, and skin that often carries more cumulative damage than people realize. Our protocols are built with that in mind.<\/p>\n <p>We believe in taking the time to understand your skin before we treat it. At your consultation we'll walk through what each treatment does, what a realistic timeline looks like, and which approach makes the most sense for your goals.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"expect-callout\">\n <p><strong>A note on sessions:<\/strong> Most laser treatments require a series to achieve optimal results \u2014 not because one session doesn't work, but because skin responds in cycles. Hair follicles, pigmentation, and collagen all respond differently across multiple treatments. We'll build a realistic plan at your consultation so you know exactly what to expect and when.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"treatment-section\">\n <div class=\"treatment-header\">\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Treatment 01<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-name\">IPL Photofacial<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-tagline\">Intense Pulsed Light \u00b7 Pigmentation \u00b7 Sun Damage \u00b7 Tone & Texture<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"treatment-body\">\n <div class=\"treatment-image\">\n <div class=\"placeholder\">\n <span>Real La Ru photos coming soon<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-content\">\n <div class=\"condition-tags\">\n <span class=\"tag\">Sun Damage<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Age Spots<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Uneven Tone<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Freckles<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Redness<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Dull Skin<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <p>If your skin has accumulated years of sun exposure \u2014 and at Mammoth's elevation, it almost certainly has \u2014 IPL is one of the most effective tools available for resetting the clock on tone and clarity. Intense pulsed light targets melanin and hemoglobin in the skin, breaking down pigmented spots, diffuse redness, and uneven tone at the source.<\/p>\n <p>Unlike lasers that work on a single wavelength, IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light that can address multiple concerns in a single session. Sun spots, post-acne marks, general dullness, and early vascular changes all respond well to IPL \u2014 making it one of the most versatile treatments in our menu.<\/p>\n <p>Results are progressive. After each session, pigmented spots typically darken briefly before rising to the surface and shedding \u2014 a normal and expected part of the process. Most clients see significant improvement in tone and clarity over a series of treatments.<\/p>\n <div class=\"sessions-note\">\n <div class=\"sessions-label\">What to expect<\/div>\n <p>Most clients benefit from a series of 3\u20135 sessions spaced 3\u20134 weeks apart for initial correction, followed by annual maintenance. Downtime is minimal \u2014 some redness and darkening of treated spots for 3\u20137 days. Results build progressively across the series.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-note\">Pricing available at consultation \u2014 contact us or book online.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"treatment-section\">\n <div class=\"treatment-header\">\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Treatment 02<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-name\">Laser Hair Removal<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-tagline\">Permanent Reduction \u00b7 Men's & Women's Packages Available<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"treatment-body reverse\">\n <div class=\"treatment-image\">\n <div class=\"placeholder\">\n <span>Real La Ru photos coming soon<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-content\">\n <div class=\"condition-tags\">\n <span class=\"tag\">Face & Lip<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Underarms<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Legs<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Bikini Area<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Back & Chest<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Men's Packages<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <p>Laser hair removal is one of the most requested treatments in aesthetic medicine \u2014 and for good reason. Medical-grade laser energy targets the pigment in hair follicles, disabling them at the root for long-term, permanent reduction. The result is smoother skin with progressively less hair after each session.<\/p>\n <p>We offer both men's and women's packages across all common treatment areas. Whether you're addressing a small area like the upper lip or chin, or looking for a comprehensive package covering multiple areas, we'll build a plan that fits your goals and your timeline.<\/p>\n <p>Hair removal works best on hair in its active growth phase \u2014 which is why multiple sessions are required. Not all follicles are active at the same time, and only active follicles respond to treatment. Spacing sessions correctly is key to capturing each cycle and achieving the best possible outcome.<\/p>\n <div class=\"sessions-note\">\n <div class=\"sessions-label\">What to expect<\/div>\n <p>Most areas require 6\u20138 sessions spaced 4\u20138 weeks apart depending on the treatment area and hair growth cycle. Facial areas typically require more frequent sessions; body areas can be spaced further apart. Touch-up sessions 1\u20132x per year are common for hormonally influenced areas. Shave (do not wax or pluck) between sessions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-note\">Men's and women's packages available \u2014 pricing at consultation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"treatment-section\">\n <div class=\"treatment-header\">\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Treatment 03<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-name\">Vascular Treatment<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-tagline\">Broken Capillaries \u00b7 Rosacea \u00b7 Facial Redness \u00b7 Telangiectasias<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"treatment-body\">\n <div class=\"treatment-image\">\n <div class=\"placeholder\">\n <span>Real La Ru photos coming soon<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-content\">\n <div class=\"condition-tags\">\n <span class=\"tag\">Rosacea<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Broken Capillaries<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Facial Flushing<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Spider Veins<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Diffuse Redness<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <p>Visible redness, broken capillaries, and the persistent flushing of rosacea are among the most common skin concerns we see at altitude \u2014 and some of the most difficult to address with skincare alone. Cold air, UV intensity, wind, and rapid temperature changes between indoors and out create a perfect environment for vascular damage to develop and worsen over time.<\/p>\n <p>Laser vascular treatments work by delivering targeted energy that is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin \u2014 the pigment in blood \u2014 while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected. Blood vessels absorb the energy, collapse, and are gradually reabsorbed by the body. The result is a visible reduction in redness, broken capillaries, and flushing over a series of treatments.<\/p>\n <p>This is a management treatment, not a cure \u2014 particularly for rosacea, which has underlying causes that extend beyond the visible vessels. But consistent treatment produces meaningful, lasting improvement in the appearance of redness and broken capillaries, and we'll build an ongoing plan to maintain your results.<\/p>\n <div class=\"sessions-note\">\n <div class=\"sessions-label\">What to expect<\/div>\n <p>Most clients see improvement after 2\u20133 sessions spaced 4\u20136 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every 3\u20136 months for rosacea-prone skin. Individual vessels can often be resolved in fewer sessions. Minimal downtime \u2014 some redness and mild swelling for 24\u201348 hours post-treatment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-note\">Pricing available at consultation \u2014 contact us or book online.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"treatment-section\">\n <div class=\"treatment-header\">\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Treatment 04<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-name\">Tattoo Removal & Pigmentation<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-tagline\">Q-Switch Laser \u00b7 Tattoo Removal \u00b7 Pigmentation \u00b7 Melasma \u00b7 Age Spots<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"treatment-body reverse\">\n <div class=\"treatment-image\">\n <div class=\"placeholder\">\n <span>Real La Ru photos coming soon<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-content\">\n <div class=\"condition-tags\">\n <span class=\"tag\">Tattoo Removal<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Pigmentation<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Melasma<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Age Spots<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Sun Spots<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <p>Q-Switch laser technology delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that shatter pigment particles in the skin \u2014 whether that pigment is unwanted ink from a tattoo or excess melanin from sun damage, melasma, or age spots. The fragmented particles are then naturally cleared by the body over the weeks following treatment.<\/p>\n <p>For tattoo removal, results depend on the ink colors present, the depth of the tattoo, and how long it has been in place. Older tattoos and certain ink colors respond faster; newer tattoos and some pigments require more sessions. We'll assess your specific tattoo at consultation and give you a realistic picture of what to expect.<\/p>\n <p>For pigmentation concerns like melasma and stubborn age spots that haven't responded well to IPL or topical treatments, Q-Switch offers a more targeted approach \u2014 delivering energy precisely to the pigmented areas while leaving surrounding skin unaffected. It's one of the most effective tools available for deep or resistant pigmentation.<\/p>\n <div class=\"sessions-note\">\n <div class=\"sessions-label\">What to expect<\/div>\n <p>Tattoo removal typically requires 6\u201310+ sessions depending on ink density, color, and tattoo age \u2014 spaced 6\u20138 weeks apart to allow the body to clear fragmented pigment between sessions. Pigmentation concerns generally require fewer sessions. Minimal downtime \u2014 treated areas may be red and slightly swollen for 24\u201348 hours post-treatment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-note\">Pricing from $250 per session \u2014 contact us or book a consultation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"treatment-section\">\n <div class=\"treatment-header\">\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Treatment 05<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-name\">Laser Skin Resurfacing<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-tagline\">Fractional \u00b7 Fine Lines \u00b7 Texture \u00b7 Scarring \u00b7 Skin Renewal<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"treatment-body\">\n <div class=\"treatment-image\">\n <div class=\"placeholder\">\n <span>Real La Ru photos coming soon<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-content\">\n <div class=\"condition-tags\">\n <span class=\"tag\">Fine Lines<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Acne Scarring<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Skin Texture<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Enlarged Pores<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Skin Laxity<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Overall Renewal<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <p>Fractional laser resurfacing creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin \u2014 triggering the body's natural wound healing response and stimulating new collagen and elastin production. The result is a measurable improvement in skin texture, tone, fine lines, and scarring that builds progressively over the weeks and months following treatment.<\/p>\n <p>Unlike fully ablative resurfacing that removes the entire surface of the skin, fractional treatment leaves surrounding tissue intact, which significantly reduces downtime while still producing meaningful structural change. It's one of the most effective treatments available for addressing the cumulative effects of sun exposure, aging, and scarring \u2014 all concerns that mountain living accelerates.<\/p>\n <p>Fractional resurfacing works at a depth that no topical product, peel, or microneedling treatment can match for structural remodeling. It's also one of the treatments where physician direction matters most \u2014 settings, depth, and pass patterns have a significant impact on outcome and safety.<\/p>\n <div class=\"sessions-note\">\n <div class=\"sessions-label\">What to expect<\/div>\n <p>Most clients see significant improvement in texture and tone after 1\u20133 sessions depending on the concern being addressed. Downtime is 3\u20137 days of redness, swelling, and skin peeling \u2014 plan accordingly. Full collagen remodeling continues for 3\u20136 months post-treatment. SPF compliance before and after is non-negotiable at altitude.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-note\">Pricing available at consultation \u2014 contact us or book online.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"training-notice\">\n <p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> La Ru Medical Spa will not be accepting appointments the weekend of May 29 \u2013 31, 2026.

Laser<\/div>\n <h2>Light-Based Treatments That<br>Do What Skincare Cannot<\/h2>\n <p>Laser treatments work at a level that topical products and even most aesthetic treatments simply can't reach. Depending on the wavelength and technology used, laser energy can target pigment deep in the skin, disable hair follicles permanently, close unwanted blood vessels, and stimulate collagen remodeling in ways that produce lasting structural change.<\/p>\n <p>At La Ru, every laser treatment is physician-directed and calibrated for your specific skin type, tone, and concern. High altitude means higher UV exposure, more dramatic temperature swings, and skin that often carries more cumulative damage than people realize. Our protocols are built with that in mind.<\/p>\n <p>We believe in taking the time to understand your skin before we treat it. At your consultation we'll walk through what each treatment does, what a realistic timeline looks like, and which approach makes the most sense for your goals.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"expect-callout\">\n <p><strong>A note on sessions:<\/strong> Most laser treatments require a series to achieve optimal results \u2014 not because one session doesn't work, but because skin responds in cycles. Hair follicles, pigmentation, and collagen all respond differently across multiple treatments. We'll build a realistic plan at your consultation so you know exactly what to expect and when.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"treatment-section\">\n <div class=\"treatment-header\">\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Treatment 01<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-name\">IPL Photofacial<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-tagline\">Intense Pulsed Light \u00b7 Pigmentation \u00b7 Sun Damage \u00b7 Tone & Texture<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"treatment-body\">\n <div class=\"treatment-image\">\n <div class=\"placeholder\">\n <span>Real La Ru photos coming soon<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-content\">\n <div class=\"condition-tags\">\n <span class=\"tag\">Sun Damage<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Age Spots<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Uneven Tone<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Freckles<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Redness<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Dull Skin<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <p>If your skin has accumulated years of sun exposure \u2014 and at Mammoth's elevation, it almost certainly has \u2014 IPL is one of the most effective tools available for resetting the clock on tone and clarity. Intense pulsed light targets melanin and hemoglobin in the skin, breaking down pigmented spots, diffuse redness, and uneven tone at the source.<\/p>\n <p>Unlike lasers that work on a single wavelength, IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light that can address multiple concerns in a single session. Sun spots, post-acne marks, general dullness, and early vascular changes all respond well to IPL \u2014 making it one of the most versatile treatments in our menu.<\/p>\n <p>Results are progressive. After each session, pigmented spots typically darken briefly before rising to the surface and shedding \u2014 a normal and expected part of the process. Most clients see significant improvement in tone and clarity over a series of treatments.<\/p>\n <div class=\"sessions-note\">\n <div class=\"sessions-label\">What to expect<\/div>\n <p>Most clients benefit from a series of 3\u20135 sessions spaced 3\u20134 weeks apart for initial correction, followed by annual maintenance. Downtime is minimal \u2014 some redness and darkening of treated spots for 3\u20137 days. Results build progressively across the series.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-note\">Pricing available at consultation \u2014 contact us or book online.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"treatment-section\">\n <div class=\"treatment-header\">\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Treatment 02<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-name\">Laser Hair Removal<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-tagline\">Permanent Reduction \u00b7 Men's & Women's Packages Available<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"treatment-body reverse\">\n <div class=\"treatment-image\">\n <div class=\"placeholder\">\n <span>Real La Ru photos coming soon<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-content\">\n <div class=\"condition-tags\">\n <span class=\"tag\">Face & Lip<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Underarms<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Legs<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Bikini Area<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Back & Chest<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Men's Packages<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <p>Laser hair removal is one of the most requested treatments in aesthetic medicine \u2014 and for good reason. Medical-grade laser energy targets the pigment in hair follicles, disabling them at the root for long-term, permanent reduction. The result is smoother skin with progressively less hair after each session.<\/p>\n <p>We offer both men's and women's packages across all common treatment areas. Whether you're addressing a small area like the upper lip or chin, or looking for a comprehensive package covering multiple areas, we'll build a plan that fits your goals and your timeline.<\/p>\n <p>Hair removal works best on hair in its active growth phase \u2014 which is why multiple sessions are required. Not all follicles are active at the same time, and only active follicles respond to treatment. Spacing sessions correctly is key to capturing each cycle and achieving the best possible outcome.<\/p>\n <div class=\"sessions-note\">\n <div class=\"sessions-label\">What to expect<\/div>\n <p>Most areas require 6\u20138 sessions spaced 4\u20138 weeks apart depending on the treatment area and hair growth cycle. Facial areas typically require more frequent sessions; body areas can be spaced further apart. Touch-up sessions 1\u20132x per year are common for hormonally influenced areas. Shave (do not wax or pluck) between sessions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-note\">Men's and women's packages available \u2014 pricing at consultation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"treatment-section\">\n <div class=\"treatment-header\">\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Treatment 03<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-name\">Vascular Treatment<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-tagline\">Broken Capillaries \u00b7 Rosacea \u00b7 Facial Redness \u00b7 Telangiectasias<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"treatment-body\">\n <div class=\"treatment-image\">\n <div class=\"placeholder\">\n <span>Real La Ru photos coming soon<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-content\">\n <div class=\"condition-tags\">\n <span class=\"tag\">Rosacea<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Broken Capillaries<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Facial Flushing<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Spider Veins<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Diffuse Redness<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <p>Visible redness, broken capillaries, and the persistent flushing of rosacea are among the most common skin concerns we see at altitude \u2014 and some of the most difficult to address with skincare alone. Cold air, UV intensity, wind, and rapid temperature changes between indoors and out create a perfect environment for vascular damage to develop and worsen over time.<\/p>\n <p>Laser vascular treatments work by delivering targeted energy that is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin \u2014 the pigment in blood \u2014 while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected. Blood vessels absorb the energy, collapse, and are gradually reabsorbed by the body. The result is a visible reduction in redness, broken capillaries, and flushing over a series of treatments.<\/p>\n <p>This is a management treatment, not a cure \u2014 particularly for rosacea, which has underlying causes that extend beyond the visible vessels.

The fragmented particles are then naturally cleared by the body over the weeks following treatment.<\/p>\n <p>For tattoo removal, results depend on the ink colors present, the depth of the tattoo, and how long it has been in place. Older tattoos and certain ink colors respond faster; newer tattoos and some pigments require more sessions. We'll assess your specific tattoo at consultation and give you a realistic picture of what to expect.<\/p>\n <p>For pigmentation concerns like melasma and stubborn age spots that haven't responded well to IPL or topical treatments, Q-Switch offers a more targeted approach \u2014 delivering energy precisely to the pigmented areas while leaving surrounding skin unaffected. It's one of the most effective tools available for deep or resistant pigmentation.<\/p>\n <div class=\"sessions-note\">\n <div class=\"sessions-label\">What to expect<\/div>\n <p>Tattoo removal typically requires 6\u201310+ sessions depending on ink density, color, and tattoo age \u2014 spaced 6\u20138 weeks apart to allow the body to clear fragmented pigment between sessions. Pigmentation concerns generally require fewer sessions. Minimal downtime \u2014 treated areas may be red and slightly swollen for 24\u201348 hours post-treatment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-note\">Pricing from $250 per session \u2014 contact us or book a consultation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"treatment-section\">\n <div class=\"treatment-header\">\n <div class=\"section-eyebrow\">Treatment 05<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-name\">Laser Skin Resurfacing<\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-tagline\">Fractional \u00b7 Fine Lines \u00b7 Texture \u00b7 Scarring \u00b7 Skin Renewal<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"treatment-body\">\n <div class=\"treatment-image\">\n <div class=\"placeholder\">\n <span>Real La Ru photos coming soon<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"treatment-content\">\n <div class=\"condition-tags\">\n <span class=\"tag\">Fine Lines<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Acne Scarring<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Skin Texture<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Enlarged Pores<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Skin Laxity<\/span>\n <span class=\"tag\">Overall Renewal<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <p>Fractional laser resurfacing creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin \u2014 triggering the body's natural wound healing response and stimulating new collagen and elastin production. The result is a measurable improvement in skin texture, tone, fine lines, and scarring that builds progressively over the weeks and months following treatment.<\/p>\n <p>Unlike fully ablative resurfacing that removes the entire surface of the skin, fractional treatment leaves surrounding tissue intact, which significantly reduces downtime while still producing meaningful structural change. It's one of the most effective treatments available for addressing the cumulative effects of sun exposure, aging, and scarring \u2014 all concerns that mountain living accelerates.<\/p>\n <p>Fractional resurfacing works at a depth that no topical product, peel, or microneedling treatment can match for structural remodeling. It's also one of the treatments where physician direction matters most \u2014 settings, depth, and pass patterns have a significant impact on outcome and safety.<\/p>\n <div class=\"sessions-note\">\n <div class=\"sessions-label\">What to expect<\/div>\n <p>Most clients see significant improvement in texture and tone after 1\u20133 sessions depending on the concern being addressed. Downtime is 3\u20137 days of redness, swelling, and skin peeling \u2014 plan accordingly. Full collagen remodeling continues for 3\u20136 months post-treatment. SPF compliance before and after is non-negotiable at altitude.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <p class=\"pricing-note\">Pricing available at consultation \u2014 contact us or book online.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"training-notice\">\n <p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> La Ru Medical Spa will not be accepting appointments the weekend of May 29 \u2013 31, 2026.
