If a client is allergic to aspirin, which type of chemical peel should they avoid?

Glycolic
Jessner’s
Salicylic
TCA

The correct answer is: Salicylic

Clients who are allergic to aspirin should avoid salicylic acid peels. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), and chemically, it is related to aspirin. Therefore, individuals with an allergy to aspirin may also have a sensitivity to salicylic acid, which can lead to adverse reactions during or after the chemical peel treatment. Glycolic acid and Jessner’s solution are not derivatives of aspirin and are typically considered safer alternatives for clients with this specific allergy. TCA (trichloroacetic acid) is also unrelated to aspirin and does not generally pose a risk for aspirin-allergic individuals. Understanding these chemical relationships is crucial in ensuring client safety during esthetic procedures.
