No med spa, device maker, or injectable brand owns any part of this site, funds it, or reviews anything before it's published. One person makes the editorial calls, and her name is on the page.
Who owns this
Med Spas Boulder is owned and run by Annette Thompson. There's no parent company, no private equity behind it, no med spa group quietly holding a stake, and no manufacturer of lasers, injectables, or skincare with any financial interest in what gets said here.
The wall between ads and rankings
Advertising decisions and editorial decisions never touch. An advertiser who scores 71 keeps the 71, keeps their position, and keeps whatever accurate criticism their assessment contains. Nobody gets a preview of their score, and nobody gets to negotiate it before publication.
This isn't a courtesy. It's the entire asset. The moment placement can be bought, every other ranking on the site becomes worthless, including the ones nobody paid for.
Corrections
I'll get things wrong. Practices change hands, providers leave, a website is out of date, my read of a service page is off. When something here is factually wrong, I want to know and I'll fix it quickly. Substantive corrections get noted on the page rather than silently swapped.
What I won't do is remove an accurate assessment because someone didn't like it.
Conflicts I'd have to disclose
If any of these ever became true, it would be stated plainly on the relevant page: a financial interest in a listed business, a family relationship with an owner or provider, paid consulting for a provider or brand, or a treatment received at no charge.
The comped-treatment rule is covered in more detail on the disclosure page.
Why a medical technologist is writing this
Because this is a health topic pretending to be a beauty topic. Injectables are prescription drugs. Lasers cause real burns in the wrong hands. The question of who is holding the syringe, and who is supervising them, is a clinical question, and most local roundups don't ask it at all.
