What Exactly Does Avoid the Sun After Fraxel Re:Store Mean?

gengen
The Fraxel website says to avoid the sun for 3 months, post treatment. I am getting one Fraxel Re:store treatment next week and am wondering exactly what "avoid the sun" means. Do I need to wear a wide brimmed hat walking for 30 seconds to my car in the middle of the day? And do I really need to avoid the sun for 3 months? What I am thinking that that any sun will damage my skin and therefore, if I am able to wear a wide brimmed hat every where I go, then i should. Is that accurate?
