Are Doxycycline and/or Retin-A Topical Safe when Having Red and Blue Light Therapy?

Can I take doxycycline 100mg twice daily and using Retin A .02% topical gel while using the red and blue light therapy? I know both of them increase UV sensitivity and I am concerned about any side effects if the red and blue lights would have the same effect as the sun. Thank you.topi
