Yes, certain medical conditions may make you ineligible for a VI Peel. It’s essential to disclose your full medical history during your consultation at AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills so we can ensure your safety. Here are some key contraindications:
- Active skin infections: Open wounds, active acne breakouts, cold sores, or skin infections need to be addressed before a peel.
- Compromised immune system: Conditions that weaken the immune system increase the risk of complications after a peel.
- Accutane use: VI Peels are not recommended if you have taken Accutane within the past 6-12 months due to increased skin sensitivity.
- Certain allergies: Allergies to ingredients like aspirin or phenol need to be discussed beforehand.
- Other medical conditions: It’s important to discuss any chronic illnesses, recent surgeries, or medications with AIVI Aesthetics as they might affect your suitability for a VI Peel.
