I want to know if i can have radio frequency treatments on face for wrinkles and age spots etc. I am a gastric cancer patient but i am in remission right now...thank you

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

Theoretically , there is no contraindication for treating cancer patients with radiofrequency in an area other than the malignancy. However, any procedure can cause a stress on the immune system and I would check with your cancer doctor.
