Protect your glow, preserve your results
Whether you’ve just experienced a laser session, micro-needling, or a chemical peel, sun protection is not optional—it’s essential. At Skinfluence, we’re passionate about helping you achieve radiant, healthy skin, but that glow comes with a little homework: protecting your skin from UV exposure, especially after any clinical treatment.
In this article, we’ll explore why post-treatment sun care matters, what can happen without it, and how you can safeguard your skin using trusted, medical-grade products like AlumierMD.
Why Is Sun Protection So Important After a Skin Treatment?
After professional skin treatments—such as ClearLift laser rejuvenation, microneedling, chemical peels, or AlumierMD resurfacing peels—your skin enters a healing and renewal phase. During this time, your skin is:
- More sensitive to UV rays
- Vulnerable to hyperpigmentation
- Prone to inflammation and sunburn
- Working hard to rebuild and restore
Even minimal sun exposure can undo your treatment results, increase your risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and slow down the healing process.
What Happens If You Skip Sun Protection?
Skipping sunscreen after your treatment can result in:
- Dark spots and uneven pigmentation
- Extended redness or irritation
- Damage to newly treated skin cells
- Premature aging and collagen breakdown
- Reduced effectiveness of your results—wasting both time and money!
This is why sun protection is not just cosmetic—it’s therapeutic.
How Long Should You Be Extra Careful?
We recommend strict sun protection for at least 7–14 days post-treatment, though long-term daily use is always best for healthy skin.
Depending on the procedure, your Skinfluence provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions—but in all cases, avoiding sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is critical.
