Laser Skin Resurfacing in St. Petersburg & Clearwater
Laser skin resurfacing replaces older, photo-aged skin with healthier, more youthful-looking skin, offering precision and reduced downtime compared to older resurfacing methods.
While dermabrasion and chemical peels have offered some hope in the past, risks like scarring, pigmentation problems, discomfort, and long recovery periods have kept many people from achieving the skin they want. Laser skin resurfacing offers a modern alternative using up-to-the-minute computerized technology to maximize benefit while reducing downtime.

Laser skin resurfacing can be combined with cosmetic eye surgery, a brow or forehead lift, or lower face procedures such as a midface lift, S-lift, or lower facelift to achieve the best possible results.
How Laser Facial Resurfacing Works
The procedure uses a beam of laser energy to vaporize the upper layers of damaged skin at specific, controlled depths. This offers precision, little to no bleeding, and less postoperative discomfort when performed by an experienced surgeon. Not every practitioner offering laser surgery has the same level of skill, which is why choosing an adequately trained surgeon is especially important.
One safety measure is confirming your surgeon has privileges to perform laser facial resurfacing at an accredited hospital or Ambulatory Surgery Center. Dr. Kass holds privileges to perform this procedure at many area hospitals and ASCs, confirming his thorough training in the technique.
At the Tampa Bay Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Kass uses the laser like an artist’s brush, tailoring the procedure to your individual needs. Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth can be smoothed, laugh and frown creases softened, and some acne and surgical scars minimized. The skin’s surface is “freshened,” revealing new skin underneath while stimulating collagen renewal for a softer, smoother appearance.
