Our Contraindications

Laser Hair Removal Contraindications Before beginning any treatment, an initial consultation is essential to identify any potential contraindications listed below:

• Tanning
• Photosensitizing treatments (such as Roaccutane, cortisone, antibiotics)
• Herpes
• Skin infections or diseases
• Skin lesions
• Tattoos
• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding period

Potential Risks Laser hair removal may pose risks to the skin if certain guidelines are not adhered to. However, these risks are generally minor since the laser only affects the superficial layers of the skin.

Here are situations that increase the risk of depigmentation, hyperpigmentation, burns, or skin infections:

• Incorrect laser choice: for example, not choosing the Alexandrite laser for dark skins
• Improper laser settings: too high intensity can burn the skin
• Tanning: can cause pigment alteration and/or burns
• Tattoos: can lead to pigment alteration and/or burns
• Photosensitizing treatments (Roaccutane, cortisone, antibiotics): can result in pigment alteration and/or burns
• Herpes
• Skin infections or diseases
• Skin lesions
• Eye injury if protective goggles are not used To date, there is no concrete evidence on the risks of laser hair removal during pregnancy and breastfeeding. These are basic contraindications.

Massage Contraindications: A Precautionary Guide

While massages are often seen as universally therapeutic, certain conditions warrant caution or necessitate abstaining from massage therapy altogether. It’s essential to be aware of these contraindications to ensure safety and health.

Situations Where Massage is Not Advisable Include:

• Fever: The body’s natural response to infection or illness.
• Infectious Diseases: Both bacterial and viral infections are included.
• Recent Surgery: Any surgical procedure undertaken within the last three months.
• Recent Fractures or Injuries: Including bone and soft tissue injuries.
• Bone and Skeletal Conditions: Such as osteoporosis.
• Joint Inflammation: This can include sprains, muscle or ligament tears, and bone fractures.
• Circulatory Disorders: Conditions like lymphangitis, phlebitis, significant varicose veins, and arteriosclerosis fall under this category.
• Heart Conditions: Including arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and those with pacemakers.
• Blood Clotting Disorders: Hemophilia, thrombosis, and presence of hematomas are key concerns.
• Skin Inflammations: Dermatoses, skin infections, burns, recent wounds or scars, open sores, and cuts.
• Serious Pathologies: Such as cancer or tumors.
• Diabetes: Due to potential complications related to circulation and sensation.
• Bleeding: Any form of active bleeding or hemorrhage.
• Pregnancy: Particularly high-risk pregnancies or the initial months.

Regarding Pregnancy: Massage is discouraged during the first trimester of pregnancy. Beyond this period, massage can be considered either through clothing or directly on the skin, with or without massage oil, but always after consulting with a healthcare provider.

In Any Doubt: If there’s uncertainty about a pathological condition, it’s crucial to seek the approval of a healthcare professional before proceeding with massage therapy.

This guide aims to prioritize health and safety by highlighting situations where massage therapy might not be the best course of action. Always consult with a professional to ensure the most beneficial and safe treatment plan.

The most common side effects, such as slight irritation, itching, or swelling of the skin, tend to fade in the hours following the session.
