Am I a candidate for Restylane or Juvederm? I have autoimmune disease and take 150 mg of Azathioprine a day.

Question

Am I a candidate for hair removal and for either Restylane or Juvederm? I am terrified of causing any problem as my treatment is for both Ulcerative Colitis and Graves Disease.

Thank you  for your question. It is safe to have fillers and laser hair removal while you are taking that medication for UC and Graves' Disease. It is always best to schedule a consultation with an experienced injector.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, you can have fillers and/or laser hair removal. I recommend getting a consultation to go over your concerns. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results with fillers. Hope this helps.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, you should be able to have fillers and/or laser hair removal. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results with filler. Diode, alexandrite and yag lasers work best for hair removal. 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
