Q: How long after IPL should sun exposure be avoided?
A:
For as long as you want to maintain the results from your IPL treatment, you need to avoid the sun!
I am in So Cal also and this is possible! Just wear a mineral-based sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide-based sunscreen) every day. And wear a hat when you are hiking.
If you don't, the brown spots you paid a lot to get removed will just come back! If you wear a hat, you will be fine hiking.
By avoiding the sun, I don't mean you need to stay inside all of the time, or avoid exercise or the things you love. Just wear sunscreen and a hat while you do them.
