I was diagnosed about 15 years ago and have been in remission for about 8 years.

Laser hair removal is not for everyone. You should consult with a Dermatologist and your Rheumatologist before making a decision to proceed. They will assess your personal medical history and your unique skin and hair type to determine if treatment would be appropriate. It's important to be under the care of a Board Certified Dermatologist.

Yes, you should be able to have laser hair removal. Diode, alexandrite and yag lasers work best for hair removal and safe for darker skin tones. I typically have patients do every 4 weeks for the first 3 times and then every 4-6 weeks for 3 times after. It will take a series of treatments and some people need treatments to maintain. See an expert in laser hair removal for best results. Best, Dr. Emer
