The skin has very little protection after a resurfacing procedure and may be damaged more easily by ultraviolet light. Is the skin forever afterwards more sensitive to ultraviolet light after refsurfacing, or will use of Suncreen SPF 30 be sufficient for the remainder of ones life?
Answer: Melarase creams after laser resurfacing Sun exposure should be minimized, but if you are in the sun, use sunscreen. I prep my patients with Melarase creams before and after laser. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Answer: Beach after Laser Skin Resurfacing Sun exposure elicits one of the most damaging effects onto one's skin. Keep I mind that laser skin resurfacing provides long-term changes by encouraging the production of collagen and elastic fibers in the deep layers of the skin. You certainly do not want to undo the positive results of laser skin resurfacing. For that reason, I suggest you use much stronger sun screen and limit your face and skin exposure through cover-ups, umbrellas, hats and more. Follow your surgeon's recovery guidelines as well.

Answer: Sun after laser Once your skin is healed from the procedure you are able to enjoy outside activities. I would recommend that you wear a higher SPF that you reapply as well as a large hat to protect your skin. You have made the investment to treat your skin and you should try to prevent further damage, while still living your life!

Answer: Laser resurfacing Thank you for your question. I would recommend waiting a minimum of three months after you heal. I recommend you wear SPF 60 or higher. If your going to be out at the beach make sure your reapplying your sunscreen, wear a wide brim hat, and using an umbrella. Your skin may burn more easily so be careful, and follow up with your plastic surgeon. I hope you find this useful.

Answer: Skin Protection after Resurfacing There are two issues in regards to the skin being more sensitive following laser resurfacing procedures.First is the reduction in pigment staining of the skin from years of sun damage. This gives the complexion a smoother appearance but the lack of pigment does make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Second is the reduction in the dead skin layers on the top layer of the skin. This will replenish itself over 6 weeks or so.So the skin will improve in sensitivity to the sun to a certain degree, but its critical for everyone regardless of having had skin resurfacing to keep their skin protected from the sun when outside.The sun is the major force of skin aging in general and skin cancer in particular.The most important thing is to reapply your sun protection every 3-4 hours when you're outside and I like the mechanical blocks best which are those that have Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide.I hope this was helpful.
