Tampa Bay's Largest, Most Trusted Medical Aesthetic Facility
Acne
One of the most common skin conditions, acne occurs when sebaceous glands become overactive and produce excess oil, causing follicles to become plugged. These plugged follicles can then become inflamed, causing pimples, nodules and cysts. Although active acne is not harmful to health and will usually subside over time, it can have a long-term, negative effect on a person’s confidence and self-esteem. Our practice offers various methods of preventing and reducing acne, including topical treatments such as lasers, Hydrafacial, and chemical peels.
Age Spots
Age spots are brownish patches that appear on the skin as a person ages, resulting from either sun damage or genetics. Also known as liver spots, these patches resemble large freckles and usually appear on the face, neck, hands, feet, or legs. Although they are not harmful, many people wish to have them removed for cosmetic reasons. Jeffrey A. Hunt D.O., R.V.S., R.V.P.I. can safely diminish these marks using Photofacial™, ResurFX®, or Fotona laser skin resurfacing treatments.

Raised Age Spots
Seborrheic Keratoses
Your GlacialRx procedure will begin with the application of a cold plate to each treatment area for approximately 20 seconds. Your provider will gently move the handpiece across your face, reducing puffiness and redness and preparing the skin to absorb the potent GlacialRx topical serums. Finally, your provider will apply a combination of brightening and antioxidant serums to your skin. The whole procedure takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. GlacialRx is a class Z device performed by our licensed aestheticians.

Rosacea
Characterized by facial redness and swelling, rosacea is a skin disorder problem that can appear at any age and usually afflicts adults with fair skin. Rosacea develops slowly at first, but worsens over time and rarely resolves on its own. At The Vein & Cosmetic Center of Tampa Bay, we have achieved excellent results treating rosacea and facial vessels with intense pulsed light Photofacials™ and have done over 6,000 treatments to date with facial skin treatments such as laser resurfacing. To learn more about any of the cosmetic enhancement or vein treatment options offered at our Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg-area office, contact Jeffrey A. Hunt D.O., R.V.S., R.V.P.I. today.
Sun Damage
Sun damage is the single biggest contributor to facial aging. Long-term exposure to the sun can lead to uneven pigmentation, deep wrinkles, leathery skin, and even skin cancer. Any of these conditions can produce signs of premature aging on the skin, even on surprisingly young patients. There are a wide variety of advanced skin care treatments available for sun damage, ranging from prescription skin care to the latest skin resurfacing lasers (ResurFX®, Fotona Pixel, CoolPeel CO2) in combination with IPL® (intense pulsed light).
Wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles appear where skin naturally folds and creases, becoming more and more permanent as time goes on. A number of factors, including sun exposure, smoking, and extreme dieting, can hasten this effect. The Vein & Cosmetic Center of Tampa Bay can counter facial wrinkles with BOTOX® Cosmetic and the latest temporary, semi-permanent cosmetic fillers, as well as the CoolPeel CO2 laser.
