OUR STORY
Contour Collection is a luxury Boutique Aesthetics Practice founded by two skin care enthusiasts with the dream of bringing Beverly Hills to Denver. One, a master of Brand Design, and the other, a seasoned expert in medical aesthetics, united by their passion for all things beauty.
Our story began with our CEO, Ainsley Ellington, returning to her roots in Colorado after more than a decade of working in the aesthetics industry in Los Angeles. Inspired by her experiences with world-class practitioners and cutting-edge science, she recognized a need in Denver. Thus Contour Collection was born.
Driven by her quest for excellence, Ainsley spent the next year searching for the perfect business partner, a Nurse Practitioner whose training, skill, science-mindedness, and natural talent rivaled that of a top Beverly Hills practitioner. Naturally, she was referred to Katie Averson and the rest is history.
OUR APPROACH
In the current aesthetics industry, there seems to be a trend of catering to the practitioner's needs rather than prioritizing those of the client. This results in a lack of transparency regarding pricing, insufficient knowledge of injection safety, and unrealistic expectations about treatment outcomes, leading to uncertainty, or worse, dissatisfaction in choosing the right provider. Recognizing these challenges, we created Contour to reinvent the entire aesthetic journey with a patient-first, science-backed approach, while offering a boutique, personalized experience.
At Contour Collection, our goal is to help you achieve the skin of your dreams, whether you choose to receive treatment with us or elsewhere. That's why we provide complimentary 30-minute consultations, designed to educate and empower our clients about skincare routines, various treatments, and the underlying science. While our specialty lies in facial contouring techniques that deliver effortlessly natural results, we also offer a range of non-injectable treatments that change the science of the skin. Our commitment is to cater to everyone's needs. From the minimalist to the aesthetics enthusiast, we cater to all skin types and all preferences.
Inspired by the world-class standards of Beverly Hills, our concierge experience delivers unparalleled glamour, charm, and expertise to the Mile High City.
