Nicknamed the Sunshine State, Florida has an abundance of sunny weather, but the near-constant exposure to UV rays can have a damaging effect on skin, both cosmetically and medically. At our practice, we can help correct a number of unwanted skin conditions that occur due to sun damage - including age spots, wrinkles, and actinic keratosis (AK) lesions - utilizing state-of-the-art lasers and light therapies. Our innovative techniques typically offer dramatic improvement in skin tone and texture on both the face and the body, often with little to no downtime. One of our most popular skin resurfacing treatments utilizes the ResurFX® Erbium 1565 laser. A fractional laser designed to reduce signs of early aging and treat precancerous AK lesions, ResurFX® is minimally invasive and can microscopically target affected areas while leaving healthy tissue undamaged. Some redness and swelling is common after each treatment; however, the directed application encourages rapid healing, and the result is often vibrant, more youthful-looking skin. In addition to the ResurFX®, we offer a number of other laser skin resurfacing technologies - including Photofacial™ IPL®, CO2 Fractional laser, and Harmony® Pixel laser - that can correct hyperpigmentation, skin damage and other imperfections while stimulating new skin cell production. For more information on the ResurFX® Erbium 1565 laser or our other laser skin resurfacing treatments, or to schedule a consultation, contact us today.
