I was told I could get a skin treatment with fractionated lasers or IPL to help with the redness and sun damage from years of using no sunblock. I tan very easily naturally. I am wondering if I use sunblock and still tan will the last treatment be pointless? Or will I finally tan evenly without white/red spots all over my face? I have no intention of using tanning beds and I plan on using sunblock after on a daily basis. but I am curious how the face tans after laser treatments.
