I had deep laser resurfacing on my face 5 months ago. I use sunscreen religiously, even while indoors. I was invited to take a vacation in two weeks that includes 3 days at a water park. There will be several hours of direct sunlight each day in 95 degree weather. Besides using the best sunscreen I can find and reapplying throughout the day, are there other safety methods you'd suggest? Will I suffer any lasting damage from this vacation? Thank you for your advice.

Answer: Sun exposure after laser At 5 months your skin should have healed from the laser. If you are going to be in the sun, make sure you wear a good block. Get one that has either zinc or titanium dioxide as these are blocks as opposed to a screen. Will be more effective at protecting your skin. ALso wear a hat and sunglasses. And reapply throughout the day.

Answer: Please Make Sure You Are Using Sunscreen Thanks for your question and know that at 5 months post your procedure, you are healed at this point and we hope that your skin has done well with the procedure you had performed. In order to maintain the results and to further take care of your skin, please make sure that whenever you are in the sun that you are using sunscreen with a very SPF, that you are on a good skin routine, and that, when you are at a beach or a water park or on a golf course, that you minimize the exposure as best as you can. Finding shade is good; wearing wide brim hats are helpful; and reapplying the sunscreen over and over is a must. Have fun and protect your skin – and enjoy the water park.
