Medication precautions:

Accutane - last dose must be a minimum of six months prior to treatment

Gold therapy - may cause blue- grey discoloration
-
Anticoagulants - increased chance of bruising
-
-
No self tanners 2-4 weeks prior to treatment
-
Vitiligo - may cause de-pigmentation

Herpes - pre-treatment with an antiviral may be indicated
-
Diabetes/ Neuropathies - may impede wound healing and decreased sensation or numbness
-
History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring (should do a test patch prior to treatment)

Tan skin or darker skin types have an increased risk of complications and/or pigmentary issues - Not treated as aggressively so may require more treatments for desired results
