Are there any contraindications for PhotoFacial?
Yes, people who are currently sun tanned or who plan to suntan up to one month after a procedure should not undergo treatment. You should refrain from using artificial tanners during this same time period. People taking Accutane should wait for at least 3 months after their last dose before starting treatments. Pregnancy, connective tissue disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosis, and those with autoimmune disorders should not undergo treatments. Photosensitive medications such as antibiotics, birth control pills, anti-hypertensive medications, and sulfa drugs are not contraindications. People who use Retin A/Renova or tetracycline should discontinue them 3 days before the procedure. Aspirin should be discontinued at least one week before each treatment.
