Is sunblock a must after the laser treatment?
Laser| Editor Nick| Posting update : 2021.10.04
Many patients wonder if they should apply sunscreen, moisturizing, and healing cream after laser procedures. Among the 3, you should not skip sunblock.
Moreover, you can apply sunscreen after pore tightening or acne treatment lasers, not only pigmentation lasers.
The reason why you should put sunscreen on is that if you do not apply it, there might be pigmentation on the treated area.
Sun exposure of the treated area without protection results in slow recovery after laser procedures.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you apply sunscreen after the laser treatments. Also, it will be far more effective when you reapply sunscreen every 4~5 hours.
