Laser Skin Resurfacing in Sarasota and Tampa

Over time, the effects of aging, gravity, sun exposure, and harmful pollutants can damage the skin, leaving the complexion dry and dull. Laser skin resurfacing can help to strip away impurities, smooth wrinkles, and fine lines, and combat a host of imperfections from acne scarring and hyperpigmentation to rough skin texture and skin laxity. Our team has acquired among the most advanced, cutting-edge equipment on the market today to perform strategic laser skin resurfacing in Tampa that preserves healthy skin cells while removing complexion flaws.

What is laser skin resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing uses the power of lasers to gently remove the outermost damaged layer of skin, exposing a pristine new complexion that is free from imperfections. At the same time, laser skin therapy can work to stimulate the regrowth of collagen, a biocompatible protein that is responsible for the resilience, elasticity, and firmness found in youthful complexions.

Laser skin resurfacing can be instrumental in treating:

Sun damage
Age-related wrinkles, lines, and creams
Hyperpigmentation
Acne scarring
Pucker marks
Dark spots
Poor skin tone and texture
Skin laxity
