You may not be a suitable candidate for Sciton Erbium Laser if you have:

  • Active skin infections such as cold sores, acne breakouts, or open wounds in the treatment area.
  • Recent sun exposure or tanning, as tanned or sunburned skin increases the risk of complications.

  • Certain skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or a history of keloid scarring, which may require special precautions.
  • Recent use of Accutane (Isotretinoin) within the past 6 months, as it affects skin healing.
  • History of poor wound healing or hypertrophic scars, which may increase the risk of complications.
  • Recent chemical peels or laser treatments, as your skin needs time to recover before another resurfacing procedure.
  • Uncontrolled medical conditions, including certain autoimmune diseases, diabetes, or immune disorders that may impact healing.
  • Use of photosensitizing medications, such as some antibiotics or other prescriptions that increase skin sensitivity.
