About Security-Widefield
Security-Widefield is an unincorporated community in El Paso County south of Colorado Springs, made up largely of residential neighborhoods.
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.
