Candela ND YAG laser (broken capillaries on face). Brief sun exposure w/o sunscreen - worried about hyperpigmentation.

Asked By:SteveAtheo in Europe

2 days prior to treatment, I jogged 30 minutes, midday w/o sunscreen. (winter here, no bright sun, overcast, and cold),. After the procedure, the doc did not put sunscreen on my face, and I was in the sun unprotected for 10 minutes (no sun, cloudy cold day) and then in car for 20 min? Then, was careful to stay in doors for 5 days. On 5th day I had to drive for 30 minutes each way and sun was shining. I was in car, and in/out of buildings. w/o sunscreen. Will I have hyperpigmentation damage?
