Hello, my name is Ranen Atieh and I work at Dr. Anil Shah's office.  There shouldn't be an issue getting a hydrafacial when you have vitiligo.  I would inform the provider just to have that documented in your chart.

Hi, thank you for your question. Yes, you can receive Hydrafacial with vitiligo. There are no studies that prove it will trigger new spots. Hydrafacial is meant to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin without downtime. We recommend that you see a licensed esthetician who is a Hydrafacial specialist and a licensed for theses types of treatments.

Hi and thanks for your question!Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition of the skin, meaning our own body attacks certain pigment cells in the skin, leaving areas of completely un-pigmented skin.Hydrafacial treatments should not stimulate an autoimmune disease. However it is not always known what will stimulate an autoimmune condition (we are still learning about autoimmune conditions in general).Overall with an experience provider, I would feel comfortable providing you with a Hydrafacial treatment with careful follow up.Hope this helps!
