About Pueblo

Pueblo is the county seat of Pueblo County in southern Colorado, located where Fountain Creek meets the Arkansas River. At around 4,700 feet it is lower and generally warmer than cities to the north.

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.

What to have ready

Think about timing, including upcoming events, travel or sun exposure, since some treatments need recovery time.
Be ready to describe your skin type and any history of scarring, pigmentation changes or cold sores.
Mention if you are pregnant, nursing or planning a pregnancy, since many treatments are postponed in that case.
Decide on a budget range you are comfortable with, keeping in mind that some treatments require several sessions or maintenance.
List your medications, supplements, allergies and relevant medical history so you can share them during a consultation.

Good questions to ask any provider

What downtime should I plan for?
How do you tailor treatments to my skin type?
Who performs the peel?
How many syringes might I need, and how is pricing structured?
Am I someone who should avoid this treatment for medical reasons?
