I am a juvenile diabetic. Is it safe for me to get an IPL photo facial?

As long as your condition is well controlled, we do not see a reason why you would not be able to get the treatment. Photofacial is actually a non-invasive laser treatment. Even though you can not get in to see your doctor, you should be able to call and ask the doctor's nurse if it is OK to have with your Diabetes. The nurse will check with the doctor to see if there is a reason you should not have this treatment.

Photofacial is actually a non-invasive laser treatment. It is not a facial.
It more depends on the coloring of your skin if you are a candidate. It's
target is red and brown colors in your skin. It is mostly used on lighter
skinned patients. However, it can also be used on light Asian and light
Hispanic colored skin. If you have more pigmented skin I recommend you have
a test area done before you treat your full face.

As long as your condition is well controlled, we do not see a reason why
you would not be able to get the treatment. We would always defer to
your primary physician though and you should call his/her office to ask
the question.

I think you are fine to get a photofacial without any concerns about your diabetes.
