Is the application possible during pregnancy and lactation?

Fruit acid peelings are not recommended during pregnancy and lactation. Animal experiments have shown a correlation between the glycolic acid most commonly used in fruit acid peelings and malformations. Detailed clinical studies are not yet available.

In exceptional cases, a single low-dose treatment may be necessary. In individual cases, consultation with the responsible physician is strongly recommended.
