Laser Treatment Options for Wrinkles
Advanced Laser Technology
Dr. Kesty offers a vast range of FDA-certified laser treatment technologies, each with its unique benefits. Laser practitioners come to her for training to advance their own laser knowledge and medical techniques.
Erbium Lasers
Erbium laser uses a beam of light that targets the epidermis and dermis, causing vaporization of the underlying skin. As the skin heals from this laser procedure, the treated skin starts the process of wound healing and skin resurfacing work, improving moderately deep lines, irregular skin, benign skin growths, sun damaged skin, and wrinkles.
Ablative Lasers
Laser skin resurfacing treatments including Fraxel and laser ablation exfoliate off the top layer of skin using precise laser peels of concentrated pulsating beams. Laser vaporization of the top layers can leave the treated area with fewer crow's feet wrinkles and less wrinkles overall for a natural facial rejuvenation option.
Treating Wrinkles Throughout the Body
Laser treatment for wrinkles is not limited to the face alone. Its versatile nature allows it to address wrinkles in various parts of the body, providing a more comprehensive rejuvenation experience.
Face & Eyes
Forehead, around the eyes and mouth, where wrinkles often form due to repetitive facial expressions and sun damage.
Neck Area
Treatment of "turkey neck" - an area prone to skin laxity and wrinkles due to thinner skin tissue.
Hands
Often exposed to the sun and susceptible to premature aging, hands benefit greatly from laser treatment.
Décolletage
The chest area that shows signs of sun damage and aging can be effectively treated with laser technology.
Treatment Timeline & Investment
Treatment Timeline
The treatment timeline varies depending on the type of laser used and the individual patient's skin condition. Generally, patients may need several treatments over a period of weeks or months for optimal results.
Cost Factors
The cost varies based on the type of laser used, treatment area size, and number of treatments needed. St. Petersburg Skin and Laser offers tailored packages so you'll know exactly how much your entire treatment will cost. We offer several payment plans and financing options including CareCredit.

Understanding Wrinkles
Types of Wrinkles and Their Causes
Static Wrinkles
Lines and creases present in our skin at all times, whether we're laughing, frowning, or keeping a poker face. Often the result of natural aging and prolonged sun exposure, leading to decreased collagen and elastin.
Dynamic Wrinkles
Expression lines that appear temporarily when we make facial expressions, such as squinting, smiling, or frowning. Over time, as skin loses its ability to bounce back, these can become more permanent.
Primary Causes of Wrinkles
Prevention and Alternative Treatments
Prevention of Wrinkles
Preventing wrinkles includes protecting your skin from the sun, not smoking, maintaining a healthy diet, and using skin care products that support skin health and elasticity.
Alternative Treatments
While there are many treatments such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, topical medications, dermabrasion, and plastic surgery, laser treatments stand out for their ability to resurface skin, stimulate collagen production, and provide lasting results.
