An autoimmune diagnosis on its own is not a reason to go without beauty treatments. When your condition is in remission and you are on no medication or on hydroxychloroquine alone, the ordinary things — facials, manicures, pedicures, waxing and other hair removal, massage, lash and brow treatments — are as safe for you as for anyone else. What restricts treatments is active disease and immune-suppressing medication, not the label on your notes. A great many people with controlled rheumatoid arthritis, mild lupus or inflammatory bowel disease in remission have been told the opposite, and have gone years avoiding things they could have enjoyed. If your condition flares, reassess. If you have lupus, the light and laser guidance still applies to you even in remission. Otherwise: book it.
