Is Vasculitis a Contraindication for Laser Resurfacing?

gr
I'm a 25 yo female, five months ago i was diagnosed with vasculitis that the doctors weren't sure if it was henoch schonlein or reactive vasculitis. The rash appeared on my legs for about 2 weeks and gone without any complications. Now i want to do laser resurfacing for my face or at least microdermabrasion for fine wrinkles, but i have read that autoimmune disorders are contraindications for such procedures. Is it dangerous for me? What are the risks? thanks
