Epidermal Leveling is a newly patented peeling procedure that can be used to remove dead skin cells and numerous skin imperfections caused by aging, acne or sun exposure. The Epidermal Leveling procedure can be used in a wide range of patients, but there will be a few medical conditions that won’t allow or can affect the treatment.
Medical Conditions that Won’t Allow Epidermal Leveling
If a patient has the following medical conditions, Epidermal Leveling is not recommended:
- Skin infections (bacterial or fungal), which should be treated prior to the administration of Epidermal Leveling
- Bleeding and coagulation disorders, even if the procedure is not invasive, bleeding may occur
- Diabetes, only if the condition is not under control
Conditions that May Interact with the Effects of Epidermal Leveling
There are a few conditions which may allow the Epidermal Leveling treatment, but may interact with the effects of the treatment. Patients with acne may not have long lasting effects, as the acne outbursts can damage the results of the Epidermal Leveling.
Patients with lupus, an autoimmune disease which causes skin lesions, may benefit from this treatment, but the effects may not be durable, as the disease may activate and cause new lesions.
If Epidermal Leveling is combined with other treatments, such as chemical peels, the patient should not be under retinoid medication or have tanned skin, as the results of the treatments will not be optimal.
