Laser Skin Rejuvenation in Tampa, FL

Skin cells are damaged by years of constant sun exposure and exposure to environmental factors like wind and pollution. This damage is compounded by the natural aging process. Skin damage appears in the form of issues like rough texture and wrinkles. The Phoenix CO2 device emits pulses of 10,600nm laser energy toward the skin. The heat from the energy vaporizes dead and damaged skin cells from the skin layers. This reveals fresh new skin cells that are free of imperfections. This is a fractional CO2 laser treatment in Tampa, meaning that instead of removing the entire skin layer, it only removes tissue in columns. This is achieved by releasing numerous tiny beams of energy. The skin cells that are not treated are left to aid in the natural healing process, ensuring a faster and more comfortable recovery. Along with removing damaged cells, this treatment also boosts creation of new collagen protein in the skin tissues. This makes skin stronger and healthier over time for improved results.

After your Phoenix CO2 laser skin rejuvenation session in Tampa, the treated area will be red and may feel like a sunburn. Itchiness and swelling may occur. Since the new skin cells will be more prone to sun damage for a time, it is important to avoid sun exposure during the healing process. Applying a proper sunscreen of SPF 30+ is vital. Heat extremes can also affect the area and must be avoided. Dryness is common, so it will be necessary to apply moisturizers and ointments as directed. Peeling will occur and is completely normal. Do not pick at the area during the recovery and healing process.

Results appear gradually after laser skin resurfacing. After all aspects of healing are complete, including amelioration of swelling and completion of peeling, results will be apparent. Results will continue to improve over the following months as new collagen protein grows at an advanced rate.

The cost of skin rejuvenation with Phoenix CO2 may be impacted by the number of areas being treated. The exact skin issues being addressed can also play a role in determining the price of this laser treatment.
