Skin treatments range drastically from one to another. Some skin treatments, like a very intense CO2 treatment, will actually require sedation and a driver. You will probably need to rest after a treatment like this, and healing will take 10 - 14 days. Other treatments are in office procedures, and take a day or so to be at their peak, before they start to gradually get better in appearance. In most cases, your skin will be red, peeling, and perhaps scabbing during recovery, so you will want to choose a time that you can be selective with your daily activities. Your surgeon will explain information about the details of your recovery in more detail before you commit to scheduling. 

Our most popular seasons for skin treatments are during the winter, spring, and fall, when the sun is not at its peak. However, skin treatments can be done at any time, providing the patient is confident in their ability to avoid direct contact with sunlight. The skin is fairly sensitive after a skin treatment, and may be susceptible to increased damage. Additionally, results will not last as long if patients go into the sun after treatment.
