Hello Doc, I Just Wanna Ask if Green Peel Will Make Your Skin Sensitive from the Heat of the Sun?

Does it make your skin sensitive from the heat of the sun? Does it take your epidermis off?

Green peels, like any ablative therapy, should be used without sun exposure prior or afterwards for ideally 4 weeks.  Sun exposure is particularily important with LASER resurfacing procedures.  Patients adherence to skin care protocols is necessary to help patients obtain ideal results.
