Can I do the Halo laser while taking Metronidazole?

Question

I'm planning to have a HALO laser approximately two weeks after the end of my antibiotic treatment (with oral Metronidazole). Should I reschedule the laser for another time?

Christopher W. Robb, MD, PhD · Answer

Metronidazole itself does not affect your skin in a way that Halo would cause problems. However typically people who are using metronidazole on their skin have rosacea. Care must be taken by your laser specialist to be sure that your rosacea does not flare after a Halo treatment. We treat rosacea patients all the time using Halo sometimes in combination with BBL. Metronidazole pills and the reasons for taken them are not a contraindication to Halo. Hope this helps!

There is no contraindication to getting a Halo just because you are on or have been on Metronidazole. Enjoy the results of your Halo. It is one of the only devices to ever give us better results than we expected, all with minimal to no downtime.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa
