Is swimming in a chlorine pool safe after a fractora laser treatment?

Question

I had a fractora laser treatment on my face and neck on Friday. Will swimming in a chlorine pool today be safe on the treated areas?

Georges Kaado, MD · Answer

Hello, I would give yourself 7 days post treatment to go into a chlorinated pool.  And use SPF if you are in the sun.

Best wishes to you.

I would generally recommend waiting at least 4 days after a Fractora treatment before swimming, but the depth of the procedure could influence my answer.  I would recommend contacting the physician who treated you and ask when you can swim after the procedure.  Your physician will have the most information about you and your procedure and will be most qualified to give you the best answer.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend waiting 5-7 days before going in a chlorinated swimming pool. Best to check with the physician's office where your procedure was performed to get further clarification.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
