How long after having Fraxel is it safe to have sun exposure?

jelllyb
I will be going to Hawaii 2 months after a fraxel treatment. Yes, I will wear sunscreen. However, sunscreen can wear off during the day or while swimming so I want to be 100% safe. And can sun exposure after fraxel seriously harm/discolor my skin?
