Can I use the Theraderm Skin Renewal System before going out in the sun?
Certainly. Unlike Retin-A, Theraderm products do not cause photosensitivity. However, sunscreen must be used when any exfoliation process is being stimulated, because the skin is more sensitive to sun at these times. In addition, a higher SPF should be used when sun exposure occurs following deeper chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, or other events that make the skin more vulnerable to sun damage. Sunscreen should always be used diligently when using Theraderm Enlighten for Age Spots, because excessive lightening may occur in the area of application after unprotected sun exposure.
