How I approach your care →
Christine Hansen finds the cause of how you feel, reads your labs beyond the standard ranges, and protects how well you live for years to come.
Treating acne with light instead of another prescription →
How blue, yellow, and infrared light work on acne, who the treatment suits, and why a steady series matters more than a strong session.
What BBL does for sun-damaged skin →
How broadband light clears sun spots and redness, what the first two weeks look like, and why a first series belongs in fall or winter here.
How skin tightening works, without needles or surgery →
Christine Hansen explains what infrared skin firming can do for an early-loosening jawline and neck, why results build over weeks, and who it suits.

Why the old laser hurt, why Forever Bare feels like warmth instead, why it takes a series, and what lasting hair reduction means for a Sun Valley life.
Restoring your face after GLP-1 weight loss →
Rapid weight loss thins the face in two layers. Christine Hansen explains how volume is rebuilt, how skin is firmed, and why the order matters.
What your longevity panel reveals →
Forty markers routine blood work skips: what each one reveals, and what Christine does with the result.
Health span, not lifespan →
The difference between health span and lifespan, and why Christine builds care around the years you can still ski, ride, and think clearly.
Is hormone therapy safe? What the WHI study showed →
Much of the fear traces to one early-2000s study that used synthetic drugs. What it found, what it did not, and where the evidence stands now.
What your hormones do across your body →
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid work as one system. What each protects, and why balance beats any single lab number.
What optimized testosterone feels like →
Energy, drive, strength, and sleep return on a timeline, and half the result is still yours.
What testosterone does, and why it falls →
Muscle, mood, metabolism, drive: One hormone runs them all. What a full panel shows, and how much of the decline you can change.
Making weight loss last →
What decides whether the weight stays off after a GLP-1: the research on stopping, the habits that hold the result, and what maintenance looks like.
Why the weight won’t move →
When the scale ignores a careful diet, the cause is usually a system in the way: thyroid, insulin, hormones, cortisol, or sleep.
