About laser skin treatments in Tampa

The main types

IPL / BBL photofacials use broad-spectrum light to treat brown spots, redness, and overall tone with little to no downtime. Non-ablative fractional lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant) treat texture and fine lines with a few days of redness. Ablative lasers (CO2, erbium) resurface the skin's outer layers for deeper wrinkles and scarring, with a week or more of recovery and the most dramatic results. Vascular lasers target broken capillaries and rosacea.

Choosing the right treatment

The right device depends on the concern (pigment vs. texture vs. redness), your skin tone, and how much downtime you can accept. A good consultation will explain why a specific device is being recommended over alternatives.

What to expect

Most light treatments feel like brief heat or snapping. Mild treatments cause redness for hours to days; ablative resurfacing involves peeling and careful aftercare for one to two weeks. Sun protection afterward is non-negotiable. Results build over weeks as skin remodels.

Pricing

Per session, with series discounts. Ablative resurfacing is priced as a single procedure and costs the most. Ask how many sessions are recommended for your goal.

What to check

Which device and why, who operates it, experience with your skin tone, and what the aftercare protocol is.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between IPL and laser?

IPL (intense pulsed light) uses a broad spectrum of light to treat pigment and redness with minimal downtime. A laser uses a single wavelength for more targeted or deeper treatment, including resurfacing.

How much downtime does laser resurfacing need?

Non-ablative fractional treatments need a few days of redness. Ablative CO2 or erbium resurfacing typically needs one to two weeks of healing with peeling and strict sun avoidance.

Are laser skin treatments safe for darker skin?

Some are and some are not. Devices and settings must be chosen for your skin tone to avoid pigmentation changes. Ask specifically about the provider's experience treating your skin type.
