Acne scars can be stubborn, affecting not just your skin’s appearance but also how you feel about yourself. At Aspire MedSpa & Beauty Bar, we specialize in advanced CO2 laser treatments, to dramatically reduce the appearance of acne scars with minimal discomfort and downtime.
If you’ve tried topical products, peels, or microneedling and are still not seeing the results you want, the CO2 laser is the gold standard for skin resurfacing takes it to a whole new level.
What Is a CO2 Laser Treatment?
A CO2 laser uses focused beams of light to remove damaged skin cells layer by layer, stimulating collagen production and triggering new skin growth. This process helps smooth and soften scar tissue while brightening your complexion.
At Aspire MedSpa & Beauty Bar in Tampa, we use fractional CO2 laser technology, which delivers controlled energy in precise micro-columns—treating damaged areas while preserving surrounding skin for faster healing.
Benefits of CO2 Laser for Acne Scars
✔ Minimizes deep, atrophic scars
✔ Improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity
✔ Stimulates long-term collagen production
✔ Provides lasting results with just a few sessions
Unlike peels or superficial lasers, CO2 laser resurfacing in Tampa targets deeper skin layers, delivering real, visible improvement for stubborn scars.
Frequently Asked Questions About CO2 Laser Treatments in Tampa
1. Is CO2 laser painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort, similar to a warm prickling or sunburn. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to keep you comfortable.
2. How long does recovery take after CO2 laser treatment?
Recovery typically takes 10-14 days, during which you may experience redness, mild swelling, and peeling. You’ll need to avoid sun exposure and follow a gentle skincare routine.
3. Are results from CO2 laser permanent?
Yes, CO2 laser results are long-lasting—especially when combined with good skincare and sun protection. While your skin will continue to age naturally, treated scars won’t return.
4. Is CO2 laser safe for all skin types?
CO2 laser is best suited for fair to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III). If you have a darker skin tone (IV–VI), your provider may recommend an alternative treatment to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.
6. Can I do CO2 laser in the summer in Tampa?
It’s possible, but you’ll need to be very careful with sun exposure. Wear SPF 30+ daily, avoid direct sunlight during healing, and consider scheduling treatments earlier in the day or indoors post-appointment.
