Sun Protection After BBL Phototherapy on Fair and Sensitive
Skin?  BBL has been recommended for me. I am 50 with very fair
and sensitive skin. I can only use zinc oxide or sun avoidance
as I am allergic to Paba or Benzine, etc. I use Solumbra
clothing/products and take supplements for a vitamin D
deficiency. I am concerned about a post from a fair-skinned
person claiming that BBL ruined her skin though she indicated
that sun exposure may have caused dark spots afterwards. She
thought her 30 SPF would protect her and it seems it didn’t. I
would not even be able to use sunscreen. Can you advise?  Doctor
