Sun Protection After Skincare Treatments: What You Need to Know

How to Incorporate Bluestone Sunshields Into Your Recovery

Why Sun Protection Matters After Treatment

After professional treatments such as laser, microneedling, chemical peels, or injectables, your skin is in a heightened healing state. During this time:

• The skin barrier is temporarily compromised

• UV exposure can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation, redness, and delayed healing

• Traditional sunscreen may not be appropriate immediately post‑procedure

Physical shade is the safest and most effective first line of defense.

Why We Recommend Bluestone Sunshields

Bluestone Sunshields are designed specifically for post‑procedure care and professional use:

• Clinically tested UPF 50+ protection

• Creates a physical UV barrier without touching sensitive skin

• Adjustable fit to customize coverage based on treatment area

• Allows airflow and visibility while protecting healing skin

Ideal for the critical window immediately after treatment—before sunscreen can be safely reapplied.

See the difference in coverage. After microneedling, skin is especially vulnerable to UV exposure. Traditional sunglasses protect only the eyes, leaving much of the face exposed. A Bluestone Sunshield creates a physical, UPF 50+ UV barrier that extends across the full face—without touching healing skin—helping support post-treatment recovery while providing privacy and comfort during everyday wear.

How to Use Your Sunshield Post‑Treatment

Immediately After Your Appointment:

• Wear your Bluestone Sunshield as you leave the office

• Adjust the angle to fully cover treated areas

• Avoid direct sun exposure whenever possible

First 24–72 Hours:

• Use your shield anytime you are outdoors or near windows

• Especially important during walking, driving, school pickup, errands, or dining outdoors

• Pair with a Sun Mask or Sun Scarf for extended or side coverage if recommended by your provider

Once Cleared for Sunscreen:

• Continue using your Sunshield with sunscreen for layered protection

• Especially helpful for melasma‑prone skin or pigment‑triggering treatments

Common Treatments That Benefit From Sunshield Use

• Laser treatments (IPL, BBL, resurfacing)

• Microneedling & RF microneedling

• Chemical peels

• Post‑injectables (to reduce heat & sun exposure)

• Melasma & pigment‑focused protocols
