Can radio frequency for skin tightening be used on patients with ulcerative colitis? Currently on Remicade.

Question

I have read that radio frequency skin tightening is not suitable for people with autoimmune conditions. I am interested in something like thermage to tighten neck skin. But I have ulcerative colitis and am on Remicade. Am I not a candidate for RF?

Generally speaking, patients taking immunosuppressants such as Remicade are not good candidates for RF microneedling and other treatments that cause inflammation and increased immune system activity. It is always best to consult with your medical provider before moving forward with any treatment.
