I'm having an Erbium laser peel done at the end of the month. I live in Florida and am a runner and cyclist, so there is unfortunately a lot of sun (I use sunscreen like crazy though and run in the early morning only) and even more sweating in my life. I want to know how long after erbium laser is it safe to: 1 Exercise at all (even indoors) 2 Exercise strenuously 3 Exercise strenuously outside where I'll be sweating profusely and getting red-faced (Florida is way too hot) Thank you for the help!
