How soon after laser treatment can the treated area be exposed to the sun?

The advisable timeframe for sun exposure after laser treatment is often recommended to start at about one week post-treatment. This is because, shortly after the procedure, the skin can be more sensitive and prone to irritation. During the healing process, there is a risk of pigmentation changes if the treated area is exposed to UV rays. Waiting for a week allows the skin to begin its healing process and reduces the chances of adverse reactions. After this initial week, providing protection such as sunscreen is strongly suggested to safeguard the delicate skin that has undergone laser treatment, but the initial wait of about a week is crucial to ensure basic healing has begun.
