How long should I be off Prednisone before I can safely do Fraxel?

singersrsweetJan 19, 2020
I have to go on prednisone again which I have done every 6 months lately for my ulcerative colitis. I want to have fraxel done as I have developed some crinkly, crepey texture on my cheeks and around my nose. How long should I be off of prednisone before I can safely do fraxel? Additionally is there any contraindication to fraxel if I go one Humira or Entyvio? Thank you for your time.
