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, which makes sun protection especially relevant before and after laser and light treatments.
