What kind of light to avoid after a fractional CO2 laser treatment?

July 29, 2017
Asked By:sumilidon33 in Los Angeles, CA

Should I avoid using electronic devices? Should I avoid light from light bulbs? Should I stay in a dark room for a whole week? O I can stay in some areas of my house where there is indirect sunlight.
