Recent sunburn/tan…. can I still laser the unaffected areas?
I have laser tomorrow for full legs, armpits, and Brazilian front/back.
I got sunburned on August 9, but the burn is mainly on my butt. It was red until sat and has just started peeling, so I already plan on having them skip any skin that was burned/is peeling.
My armpits and Brazilian front are still very pale/my normal skin tone because they haven’t been exposed to the sun. My legs are a little more tan than usual from being outside, but they were never burned.
Would the localized sunburn mean I need to cancel the entire appointment, or can they still treat my armpits/Brazilian front and assess whether my legs are safe to treat?
My last laser session was 6/24, so I’d rather not delay everything if only one area needs more time to heal.
Also, for anyone who lasers but tans during the summer: do you normally pause laser until fall, or just avoid tanning around your appointments?
