About

Vanguard Skin Specialists describes itself as a dermatology and plastic surgery practice. Its team includes dermatologists, plastic surgeons, advanced practice practitioners and an aesthetics RN. The practice states its mission is to make a positive impact on its patients, its community and the world, and it names humility, integrity and excellence as its core values.

Medical dermatology covers skin exams, skin cancer diagnosis and treatment, and conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, warts, rosacea, skin allergies, skin infections, cysts and pediatric skin concerns, along with women's dermatology. Skin cancer care is handled in the office from detection through surgery. Mohs micrographic surgery for basal and squamous cell carcinoma is offered at the Briargate, Central and Pueblo locations with same-day plastic surgery reconstruction, and at Broadmoor and Castle Rock alongside patch testing. Patients with a new or concerning spot are seen within one week, and anyone with a new or changing mole is asked to call promptly.

Acne care combines prescription treatment, such as topical retinoids, oral antibiotics, hormonal treatments or isotretinoin, with aesthetic treatments for acne scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, including chemical peels, microneedling and laser therapies. Plans are tailored to age, skin type, severity, lifestyle and cosmetic goals. The aesthetic side offers injectables such as BOTOX Cosmetic, dermal fillers and Kybella, laser services including Laser Genesis, LimeLight IPL and laser hair reduction, and skin treatments such as chemical peels, dermaplaning, DiamondGlow, microneedling, Plasma IQ and PRP for hair loss. Digital Skin Analysis using VISIA imaging is listed as a free, noninvasive assessment.

Appointments can be booked by phone or online, including on weekends and holidays, and the Central location also offers Saturday appointments. The main phone line is (719) 355-1585. Patients can pay bills and use a patient portal online. The Hugo clinic is a satellite inside Lincoln Community Hospital and opens on the second Tuesday of each month, and the La Junta clinic, in the Specialty Suite at Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center, opens on the first Monday of each month.

The Clara skincare line is a dermatologist-curated range of medical-grade products developed by the practice, described as its top seller and as exclusive to Vanguard. The products are listed as fragrance-free and paraben-free and are aimed at acne, aging, dryness, rosacea and pigmentation. The business says Clara profits are reinvested in the line or donated to nonprofits, and at-home skin care products are sold through its online shop. The practice has also supported child protection projects in Cambodia from 2010 to 2020 and in Rwanda from 2012 to 2023 with World Vision, sponsored a medical clinic with maternal health programs in Haiti from 2018 to 2022, and has partnered on clean water and economic development projects in Honduras since 2022.

Brings medical, surgical and aesthetic dermatology together under one roof, with acne plans tailored to age, skin type, severity, lifestyle and cosmetic goals.
