Oral or topical supplements: Skin Laundry cannot be responsible for any adverse reactions and/or side effects that occur as we cannot verify medical evidence of a benefit or risk to your skin in combination with our laser and treatment devices
Immunomodulators: If you are on an immunomodulator for a condition such as lupus, psoriasis or colitis you are at a higher risk for infection. Please consult with your physician before receiving any Skin Laundry treatment
