I'm having a Lumecca ipl photofacial in a few days for some freckles and hyperpigmentation on my chin area. I'm also going to Mexico 45 days later. Will it be ok to continue with treatment and use good sunscreen and a hat. I don't want to damage what I'm trying to fix.

I suggest proper skin care and sun-protection at this time.  Please see an expert in lasers and skin for an evaluation to determine you do not have post-inflammatory erythema and pigmentation.  Best, Dr. Emer.
