How long should I stay out of the sun after a SeruGlow MD treatment?

Question

If I have the procedure on Monday, can I go to the beach that weekend?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Thank you for your question.

After a SeruGlow MD treatment, it is important to protect your skin from the sun to ensure optimal healing and results. Here are a few guidelines to follow:

Immediate Post-Treatment Care:

After the procedure, your skin may be more sensitive to UV rays. It is generally recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours.
Extended Sun Protection:

For the best results and to avoid potential complications, it is advisable to minimize sun exposure for about 1 to 2 weeks post-treatment. This includes avoiding activities like going to the beach where sun exposure is intense.
Sun Protection Measures:

If you must be outdoors, ensure you are using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, wear protective clothing, and use a wide-brimmed hat to shield your face.
Consult Your Provider:

It's always best to follow the specific post-procedure instructions given by your dermatologist or the professional who performed the treatment. They can provide tailored advice based on your skin type and the specifics of your treatment.
Given that you are considering going to the beach that weekend, it might be best to reschedule your beach plans to ensure your skin heals properly and to avoid any adverse effects.

Best regards,
