- Eczema
- Active acne breakouts
- Rashes
- Dermatitis
- Sunburnt skin
- Injured or broken skin
- Rosacea (especially during flare-ups)
- Psoriasis
- Active herpes simplex (cold sores)
- Recent Medication Use:
- Accutane (Isotretinoin): Individuals who have used Accutane within the last 3 months should not undergo the treatment due to increased skin sensitivity and potential for adverse reactions.
