Just had a few spots done using the Resurfx laser 3 days ago. Doc made me promise to avoid the sun and reapply sunscreen every hour. How long do I need to do this for? We have a picnic in 10 days - will it be ok by then?

Answer: Protect yuor investment With lasers, sun exposure to soon aftertreatment can have an increased risk of side effects including scarring andpigmentation. It is best to avoid exposing the treated area for up to 3 monthsafter the treatment. Wearing a good quality physical block (zinc/titanium)sunscreen and reapplying at least every 2 hours or immediately after swimmingis recommended. Covering the area with a hat or clothing, as well as staying inthe shade as much as possible is also advised. Protect your investment, it willbe worth it in the long run.
