Is Thermage treatment safe for people who have lupus?

Hey there,Thermage is Radiofrequency based and not a laser and so you can safely get the treatment done.
In order to improve the quality of life any cosmetic procedure should be planned in the period of lupus remission and when you are not on any immunosuppressive medications. In lupus, the collagen stimulatory response by Thermage may be delayed or nil. Any cosmetic procedures that manipulates the skin can reactivate lupus. So better to decide after having a proper consultation with a board-certified physician.Hope this helps.

Thermage is safe for many patients who have Lupus and other autoimmune diseases because it is through radiofrequency (heat) and won't affect your skin in a way that other lasers could.  I would always confirm with your treating rheumatologist and preferably be off prednisone before the procedure. Please consult an expert in Thermage for the best cosmetic results.  Best, Dr. Green

Yes it can be. Lupus can present on the skin, or can be systemic. If you have non- koebner non-cutaneous lupus, directed energy based skin treatments can be safe. This includes Botox and HA fillers. Dr Isobel Walker. Brisbane. Fiori
