Can I have Fraxel Laser if I am a Skier and am Exposed to Cold and Wind?

December 7, 2011
Asked By:Ashl in NY

1.Is it enough to wait 2 wks to recover after treatment before skiing again? or longer? 2.Is it OK to receive fraxel 1550 within 2-3 days of skiing, with slight tanning/color? :I didn't get a lot of tan, but I can def see more color in my face and it is still a bit red the next day. Usually I do better blocking UVA & etc so that there is no trace of snow exposure than red cheeks for the next day from cold & wind, but didn't do so well this time :( Is it safe? Or should I reschedule?
