You’re not a good candidate for a chemical peel if…
You are under 12 years old.
You have taken Accutane, a vitamin a based treatment for severe acne, in the last year.
You have received chemotherapy or radiation therapy in the last year.
You are allergic to Aspirin or other salicylate (painkiller).
You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
You have a history of allergies or skin reactions such as rashes and irritations.
While a chemical peel is a great way to rejuvenate, refresh and smoothen the skin, make sure you don’t fall under any of these categories when you’re exploring it as an option for treatment. The patient consultant at TCC may recommend an alternative treatment that would be more suitable for your situation.
