Years of sun exposure can lead to dark spots, rough texture, and uneven tone that linger long after the tan fades. If you’re wondering whether there’s a way to refresh sun-damaged skin without a long recovery, ProFractional® laser treatment could be a good solution.
At Southlake Plastic Surgery, ProFractional laser services are performed by a highly trained aesthetics team led by board-certified plastic surgeons. Learn more about the benefits of this treatment below.
What Is ProFractional Laser Treatment?
ProFractional is a laser resurfacing therapy that creates microscopic channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s inherent healing response, which supports collagen production and skin renewal.
Benefit #1: Improves Sun Spots and Uneven Pigmentation
One of the biggest frustrations with sun damage is discoloration that makeup can’t fully cover. ProFractional laser targets damaged skin cells while leaving surrounding tissue intact.
Patients often notice:
- A more even-looking skin tone
- Reduced appearance of sun spots and age spots
- Brighter, clearer skin over time
Because the treatment works below the surface, results continue to develop as the skin heals.
Benefit #2: Smooths Texture and Refines Skin Quality
Too much time in the sun can make skin feel rough or crepey. ProFractional laser helps resurface the outer layers while encouraging healthier skin underneath.
This can lead to:
- A smoother texture
- Softer-looking fine lines
- Better skin quality
Many patients appreciate that these changes emerge gradually, allowing for natural progression rather than a sudden shift.
Benefit #3: Customizable Downtime Options
Not everyone can take weeks away from daily routines. Fortunately, ProFractional laser offers significant flexibility.
For mild damage and discoloration, lighter sessions with shorter recovery work well. If you have more noticeable concerns and are okay with a longer healing period, you can opt for deeper treatments. This adaptability makes it appealing for both first-time patients and those with prior experience.
Regardless of your lifestyle and goals, the team at Southlake Plastic Surgery can develop a plan that works for you.
