Can you get a chemical peel done if you have hypothyroidism or " Hashimotos " autoimmune disease?

Question

I've heard on some forums that you can't if you have an autoimmune disease, but nothing about hypothyroidism. I don't clearly understand why it would affect an autoimmune disease either.

there is no reason why you cant get a peel or laser done if you have thyroid disease, certain autoimmune diseases like lupus need more care and protocol.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi QueenA,Thank you for posting your question. There are no known contraindications with hypothroidism and chemical peels. If you are unsure, I suggest checking with your endocrinologist before treating. Hope this helps!Best wishes,Dr. Michael J. BrownNorthern Virginia Plastic Surgeon
