Sunscreen application directly after a laser or microneedling procedure?

October 2, 2016
Asked By:amonavis in New York, NY

Should I apply sunscreen *directly after* a clear and brilliant laser procedure (like a mild fraxel restore) or microneedling procedure, before leaving the office? I'm concerned that chemicals (such as nanoparticles) could enter my bloodstream through the injury created by the laser or needling, and increase systemic absorption.
