Our center performs a variety of chemical peels to reduce hyperpigmentation, fine wrinkles, and to restore overall skin health to the face. If you have a history of cold sores, it is imperative that you begin a prophylactic course of antiviral tablets before your procedure. The cold sores can occur immediately after your procedure and in some cases, can compromise the results.
It is partially your responsiblity as a patient to ensure that your physician is aware of your history of cold sores before beginning any laser, chemical peel, or non-invasive skin treatment.
