Morpheus8 and autoimmune disorder?

D
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?

Silicone based filler cannot be dissolved. I must be physically removed. The danger of minimally invasive procedures in the setting of permanent silicone based filler is the potential for contamination and infection. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
