Total FX - How long after treatment will I have to avoid the sun?

I am an outdoor person and have an Asian skin tone. I do wear a hat and sunscreen all the time, but I worry that having Total FX done will cause me not to be able to enjoy outdoor activity as much.

Please clarify, how long do I have to avoid the sun after Total FX?  Thank you, Tam

Please be careful with the sun post treatment. You should apply sun block multiple times through out the day and use a hat and possibly a scarf as well. Once you are recover please make sure you are using sunblock forever as you will maintain the effects of your treatment longer!
