I want to get bbl therapy for acne and possibly do the bbl forever young. I am on doxycycline for acne (for a month now) which doesn't seem to be working very well. The esthetician believes you need to be off doxy for 2 weeks before undergoing BBL. Is this true? Also, should I discontinue Retin a before undergoing BBL? If so, how long should I be off these medications? Thanks so much!

Answer: BbL precautions? It's s my opinion that you should stop the doxycycline anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks before starting therapy. The amount of time depends upon the dose and frequency that you are taking the medication. It is a good idea to stop Retin A 7 to 10 days before treatment. If you are a darker skin type, I would recommend using a bleaching cream 1 week before therapy. Good luck!

Answer: Stopping meds with BBL You do not need to stop the antibiotic for BBL. As per guidelines set by Dr. Bitter, you can safely treat while on these medications if you 1. Tell your doctor you are on them prior to procedures so they can adjust the settings and 2. Go to a qualified laser treatment center. Hope this was helpful. Good luck!
