Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Yes, you can have Morpheus8 (RF-microneedling) even with autoimmune diseases like plaque psoriasis and lichen sclerosus, as well as possible Hashimoto's. Many individuals with autoimmune conditions successfully undergo this treatment. With the right precautions, Morpheus8 can be an effective option for achieving skin tightening on your neck and face. Always prioritize open communication with your medical team to ensure the best outcome. I hope this helps and best of luck!
