Whether due to sun damage, lifestyle habits, or gravity’s relentless pull, skin aging is a prominent concern for adults throughout Tampa Bay. Wrinkles, discoloration, and sagging skin can appear over time, compromising your skin’s smooth, healthy appearance. But, if you don’t want to undergo traditional plastic surgery, can you effectively tackle these skin concerns?
Yes, you can, with the CO laser at Florida Face & Body! Read on to learn more about this exciting treatment option to rejuvenate your appearance.
What is the CO2 Laser?
The CO2 laser is a non-surgical ablative laser skin resurfacing treatment used to reverse the most prominent signs of aging, including volume loss, discoloration, and scarring. You can think of it as nature’s filler: Rather than injecting volumizing substances into the skin, it ramps up your skin’s natural healing process to revitalize your appearance.
How Does the CO2 Laser Work?
The CO2 laser administers light energy to the skin, precisely targeting the skin’s outermost layer without damaging its deeper layers. The light energy stimulates fibroblasts and collagen production in the skin, which naturally tightens and smooths your complexion. This process is typically more effective than other non-surgical treatments, like dermabrasion or microneedling.
What Can the CO2 Laser Be Used For?
The CO2 laser is an excellent choice for volume loss, the most evident sign of aging and one of the most common concerns among our patients in Tampa. However, it can also be used to target:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Age spots and hyperpigmentation
- Scarring, including acne scarring
- Dark under-eye circles
- Sun damage
