Can someone get Microdermabrasion when they have Crohn's disease and are taking Imuran?

I read on a website that if you have an autoimmune disease that you shouldn't get microdermabrasion. I would like to get microdermabrasion done on my face if it is safe to do so.

Thank you for your question! I would not advise you to do it at the same time. Both treatments  need recovery time and it is important to space them out. I would advise  you to firstly do microdermabrasion and then wait it out for your skin  to heal, and then proceed with laser. Best of luck!

Yes is the answer to your question. 2 weeks is a suitable amount of time to allow your skin to heal well. Alternating peels and Microdermabrasion should provide good results.Hope this helps.
