How damaging is brief sun exposure after laser hair removal?

June 6, 2016
Asked By:mofchow in Switzerland, CH

So I got my laser hair removal done on Friday (legs). It is a very sunny Monday today and I decided to wear a dress to work (15 min walk). Now, I was not sitting in the sun trying to get tanned or anything, just walking to the office. Can this type of rather brief sun exposure be damaging to the skin? Whats' the risk? Unfortunately I didn't think to use SPF before leaving the house :( Thanks!
