I am considering Fraxel repair to correct uneven skin tone, fine lines and to generally tighten the skin. I'm 45 and healthy except that I have an auto-immune disease (Hashimotos) and very high C-Reactive protien level related to systemic inflammation caused or resulting from immune disfunction. I have had a few surgeries and the scars, even years later, are still very raised and purple. Should people with overactive immune systems and tendency to scar badly avoid this procedure?
