Question

Eric Seiger, DO · Answer

In short, generally, although there are a few conditions where this may or may not be the case. In patients with Lupus or Vitiligo, the treatment could result in lesions or other unwanted effects. If you have one of these conditions, it is best to let your surgeon know beforehand.

Thank you for your question. To my knowledge, there should be no issue with getting microneedling done if you have an autoimmune condition. I hope this answer is helpful! Best of luck.

Most patients, yes, you can get away with micro needling, however if you have cutaneous lupus or even vitiligo, I would be extra cautious. Google the term KOEBNER and you will understand why. Stay safe. Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
