Asked By:Daniellew93 in Sittingbourne, GB

I want to return to using sunbeds, however I am only 4 weeks post op. I've heard sunbeds can really affect the healing and the appearance of your scars/incisions. How long would you suggest I wait to use them again? When I return I will be covering them up what's the best thing I can do/buy to protect them? would the UV rays get through a plaster and clothing? Also is it normal to have lumpy incisions please see my pictures. Thanks
