Dr. James Howton originally trained in Family Medicine and over time transitioned his practice to a Functional Medicine / regenerative medicine model. He began incorporating aesthetics into his practice
in 2004, when patients who trusted him with their health began asking if he could help them with their external appearance.
His bias toward addressing the root causes of problems rather than covering up symptoms has also defined his practice of aesthetics and made him a leader and innovator in the field. Dr. Howton has been a speaker and trainer for a number of companies, including: Syneron/Candela, Zeltiq, and Thermi-Aesthetics. Together with his wife, Andrea, they founded ARTI (Aesthetic Research and Training Institute) and train physicians both nationally and internationally in advanced combination therapies for lasers and injectable modalities. His aesthetic practice, Restore Beauty, has been at the forefront of bringing new technologies to Northern Colorado, such as:
- • First to bring CoolSculpting to Northern Colorado
- • First to introduce vaginal rejuvenation for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence
- • First practice to introduce PRP treatments for sexual health (O-shot and P-shot)
- • First practice to introduce RF microneedling for skin laxity and cellulite
- • First practice to introduce pellets for bioidentical hormones
Dr. Howton and Andrea have assembled the treatments offered at Restore Beauty in a strategic fashion in order to best address the root causes of aesthetic concerns for their clients.
