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

Question

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.

Avoid UV light from the sun; reduce sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and moisturize with Elevase Moisture Booster followed by Replenish Retinoid cream.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Ravi Dahiya, MD · Answer

You really just need to avoid sun exposure. No need to avoid light indoors or electronic devices. The duration as to how long to avoid sun exposure depends on the aggressiveness of the laser treatment. I would certainly ask your doctor
