Morpheus8 and autoimmune disorder?

Dazzling237423Jun 1, 2023
I have an autoimmune disorder (joint pain, fatigue, mild skin rash on cheeks, livedo racemosa (red fishnet pattern) on thighs. Past medications included hydroxychloroquine, celecoxib, cyclobenzaprine, corticosteroid, Tylenol. Current medication: Low Dose Naltrexone LDN (anti-inflammatory). I would like to have Morpheus8 treatments around my lips, jowls, and neck. Does my autoimmune disorder and my use of LDN disqualify me from Morpheus8 treatments?
