Going Outside the Day After Fraxel:Restore Treatment?

silverspoon1
Hi, I had a Fraxel:Restore treatment a few days ago. The day after my treatment, I had to be outside for about 30-45 minutes running errands. I was very vigilant in putting on sunblock, as well as covering my face with a hoodie throughout the time I was outside. Did I increase my risk of hyperpigmentation by doing this? Thanks Thanks
