- Sun creates permanent dark spots on laser treated skin because the treatment makes skin produce extra color when hit by UV rays.
- Laser removes the top protective skin layer, leaving it deeper layers exposed to harmful sun rays as this makes treated skin burn much faster and hurt more than normal untreated skin.
- Sunscreen with SPF 30 blocks harmful UV rays from reaching to the skin and then apply thick layers every two hours to prevent burns, scars and healing delays during recovery.
- Wide brimmed hats and long sleeved clothes create physical barriers against sun exposure. Tightly woven fabrics block more UV rays than thin materials, giving better protection for healing laser treated areas.
