Can I get a spray tan after Erbium Laser Resurface? If so how long should I wait?

Question

Andrew Campbell, MD · Answer

Once you have fully re-epithelialized (no more open wounds or weeping), it is safe to apply makeup or get a spray tan. A spray tan is certainly MUCH better for your skin than a sun tan!Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Thank you for your question. I would wait until you are healed from your laser skin resurfacing, however, you should be following the recovery guidelines provided by your board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

I would apply Elevase Moisture Booster with ceramides to restore skin integrity for about one week. You may get a spray tan once the skin heals a little more. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Thank you for sharing your question. After the skin returns to its normal color  it can be spray tanned. Make sure to use sunblock as well.Good luck,

Do not spray tan (or sun tan) until you are fully healed from the laser resurfacing and all redness has resolved.
