|  Scarring & Tanning I've heard different advice on tanning and scarring. If someone has a surgical incission, or a cut that required stutures - when is it consider okay for them to tan? Obiviously they should wait until the wound has closed. I've heard some say that UV will help with scarring, and also that UV will make the scar worse. Which is it? |

Cuts and/or bruises should be covered until they are completely healed. __________________  Please talk to me if you would like to bring a great line of skin care into your salon.

They told me NO UV for 6 months, but they also said if I kept the area protected with a 50 spf and covered I could have uv exposure to other areas. I did just that, I tanned daily and used heavy suncreens for a year and you can hardly tell I had surgery. Of course I waited about 2 mos before I laid in a tanning bed. __________________  |

I had plastic surgery and have a "T" scar across my body...I didnt tan at first until it simply healed and my dr. said it was ok to tan afterwards, just put on some spf because they would tan much darker..and they did..but now that they are many years old , they dont get dark, they just stay the same... |
