It has not been known for a long time that sunbathing (especially without sunscreen) is harmful to the skin. Although a tan improves the complexion, it also contributes to premature ageing of the epidermis. In addition, sunlight or light in a tanning bed dehydrates the skin and dries it out. This makes it impossible to carry out most aesthetic medicine treatments. Why is sunbathing before treatment prohibited?

Tanning before treatment: why is it not advisable?
Aesthetic medicine and pre-treatment tanning
If you read the recommendations on aesthetic medicine treatmentsIn most cases, you will come across information about the ban on sunbathing for a fortnight before and after the treatment. Recommendations apply to laser therapy treatments, but also to fillers, electro sound waves and more. Although aesthetic medicine treatments are not harmful to the skin, they do temporarily strain it to some extent. This is logical: laser irradiation does not create wounds on the skin's surface, but it does interfere with its cells and thus - weakens it. For this reason, it is advisable not to use a solarium or natural sunlight when, for example, undergoing laser hair removal or a facelift. The same applies to needle treatments, such as mesotherapy. Puncturing the skin with a needle violates the natural epidermal barrier, which can be aggravated by intensive sun exposure.

Effect of sunlight
Light accelerates skin ageing and does not benefit skin recovery. It is a bad idea to display fresh scars to the sun, because through exposure they may not heal as we would like. Many people are still unaware of the harmful effects of the sun's rays all year round. We should use SPF sunscreens not only in summer, but all year round. Even when the sun is hiding behind clouds, the rays touch the skin. The regular use of filters will be a great asset if you wish to undergo aesthetic medicine treatments. Lubricating the skin with SPF creams protects the complexion from damage and deepens the effectiveness of the treatment.
