About Fountain

Fountain is a city in El Paso County south of Colorado Springs, along Fountain Creek and the I-25 corridor, and close to Fort Carson.

Regional considerations

Colorado's high elevation and abundant sunshine mean stronger UV exposure than at sea level, so sun protection is a common part of skin treatment plans. Colorado sets rules for who may perform medical aesthetic procedures.

Getting ready to reach out

Prepare questions about who will perform the treatment and who supervises it.
Decide on a budget range you are comfortable with, keeping in mind that some treatments require several sessions or maintenance.
Write down what you would like to change or improve, and what results you are hoping for, in your own words.
Think about timing, including upcoming events, travel or sun exposure, since some treatments need recovery time.
Mention if you are pregnant, nursing or planning a pregnancy, since many treatments are postponed in that case.

Good questions to ask any provider

What combination do you recommend for my goals?
Is a medical professional on site or supervising, and how are complications handled?
How do you charge, per unit or per area, and how many units do you anticipate?
Who performs the peel?
Is a follow-up visit included?
