I went out in the sun with a lite skin block after microdermabrasion. Had no idea it was so hot. What do you recommend?

Direct sun exposure after a skin treatment puts you at risk for hyperpigmentation. I would suggest twice daily application of Melarase creams to help reduce your risk. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank You for your question. After having a microdermabrasion treatment it is always important to stay out of sun exposure for st least 3 to 5 days. Heightened body heat may aggravate  your skin or leave a burning sensation. This may give you discomfort but sun exposure is best to be avoided due to the chance of burn or hyper-pigmentation. Consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for treatment  and protocols.
