FX laser contraindicated when taking Humira?

S
SclubinJan 27, 2016

I have grannuloma annulare. It was very extensive on my legs and arms. Completely stained my calves from knee to foot. Humira has completely cleared me for 2 years. I want to have a deep laser resurfacing. I am still taking the Humira. Is cosmetic surgery on the face contraindicated when taking Humira?

The "tan" could be the initial bronzing that affects all patients. What you want to be very careful of at this point is sun exposure.Asian skin in general tends to experience post treatment hyper pigmentation - with lasers specifically - and heat-based treatments in general.
