Contraindications

Contraindications for Laser Treatments at Miss. Elegance.

Laser hair removal is safe and effective, but in some situations it is better not to undergo treatment to avoid complications and ensure your safety. Below is a list of circumstances in which laser treatment is not recommended:

• Diabetes, skin cancer or blood diseases: People with these conditions cannot be treated.

• Skin problems: Active infections, open wounds, eczema, psoriasis or skin and vein inflammations on the area to be treated must first be allowed to heal.

• Medication use: Medication such as antibiotics, retinoids (such as Roaccutane), antidepressants, and certain herbal preparations (such as St. John's wort) can make the skin hypersensitive to light. Wait at least two weeks after a course of antibiotics or six months after Roaccutane use. Anti-inflammatories such as Prednisone also inhibit the skin's recovery process.

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: During pregnancy, laser treatment is not recommended due to hormonal fluctuations. During breastfeeding, treatment is sometimes possible, but only in consultation.

• Hormonal Conditions: Conditions such as PCOS or other hormonal fluctuations can affect effectiveness, and additional sessions are often required.

• Cancer or radiation: If you have recently undergone radiation or cancer therapy, your skin may react differently. Always discuss this with a doctor.

• Recent sunbathing or tanning bed use: Tanned skin (exposed less than two weeks ago) is more sensitive to side effects such as burning or pigment spots.

• Tattoos or permanent make-up: Treatments on skin with tattoos or permanent make-up are not possible due to the risk of damage.

• Cold sores (herpes simplex): Wait until an active cold sore has completely healed.

• Botox or fillers: Wait at least four months after a Botox treatment. Fillers can break down faster; permanent fillers in the upper lip are a contraindication.

• Hypersensitivity or allergies: Laser treatment is not recommended if you have a medical condition such as lupus or photosensitivity.

• Implants or metals in the body: With metal implants in the area to be treated, the laser can generate heat that causes discomfort. Consult a specialist.

• Age limit: Treatments for persons under the age of 18 are only possible with the consent of parents or guardians.

If in doubt whether laser treatment is suitable, we recommend always consulting a doctor first. Your safety comes first!
