How to Repair Summer Sun Damage

Unprotected sun exposure wreaks havoc on your skin and speeds up visible aging. In fact, it’s the leading cause of wrinkles, dark spots, laxity, spider veins, and other cosmetic concerns.

While a fair amount of sun damage is permanent, you can still make your skin look younger and healthier. Here are some of our favorite options, from skin treatments to facial plastic surgery.

Chemical Peels

Used to target uneven tone and texture, chemical peels exfoliate the skin using a blend of acids. These formulas come in various strengths and can be customized for a more tailored treatment.

A strong peel can produce dramatic results in as little as one session. However, it may come with more downtime than a mild peel, which requires multiple visits to improve your complexion.

Most people can benefit from this popular treatment. It’s particularly effective for those who want to reduce the early indicators of sun damage, such as fine lines, rough skin, and age spots.

Laser Skin Treatments

When it comes to fading signs of sun damage, lasers are among the most versatile and effective treatment options. There are various laser devices available to address your issues.

If you want to improve concerns such as wrinkles, pigmentation, and textural changes, Fraxel is a great option. This fractional laser skin resurfacing treatment is designed to target sun damage.

Facelift and Neck Lift Surgery

Non-invasive treatments often fall short of fixing significant sagging or wrinkling. If you are looking for a tried-and-true way to turn back time on your appearance, then consider surgery.

Facelift and neck lift procedures employ various techniques to tighten and smooth the skin. You may benefit from a mini lift or other approaches, depending on your concerns. These surgeries are often paired with skin treatments for the most comprehensive results. Of course, if you are not ready to commit to an invasive procedure or extended downtime, the Profound Non-Surgical Facelift is the next best thing.
