How can I avoid discolouration after dermabrasion?

avi79
I just had dermabrasion a week ago and am worried about possible discolouration later on. I have a darker complexion so I know that I am more susceptible to this. I know that I should stay out of the sun as much as possible; however, I am a runner. Is it possible to just put on a lot of sunscreen when I run during the summer months and still avoid any discolouration? Thanks!
