Is CO2 laser or PRP micro needling safe for someone with Sjogrens?

Question

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

In my opinion, this depends upon what type of Sjogren's syndrome you have. If it is primary Sjogren's and there are no other overlap syndromes, there are less symptoms in the skin. If you have excessively dry skin or vasculitic changes in the skin, I would avoid any procedure. Should this not be the case, you can consider doing either FRACTIONATED CO2 or micro-needling PRP in a test spot. Should the test spot heal correctly, you can then proceed to a larger area.

Thank you for your question. It is possible to have a CO2 laser or PRP treatment with Sjogrens. I suggest consulting your provider before having any procedures. Please make sure you seek treatment from board-certified dermatologist.
