Question

I am a 60 year old female. I planned to have laser treatment on my face to treat wrinkles. Recently I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and denosumab recommended as a treatment. My question is can I have laser resurfacing for my face once I start taking the osteoporosis treatment.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Your medications should not be an issue with laser resurfacing. I would recommend consulting with a board certified physician who specialized in laser skin resurfacing to explore your options.

Medication for osteoporosis won't effect your skin in any significant way, so it is safe to have a laser resurfacing for wrinkle reduction. I personally prefer the Halo laser for mild wrinkles and the full field erbium laser for deep wrinkles. See someone with extensive experience, especially if you are going to have a full field resurfacing.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa

You do not need to worry about your laser treatments effecting your osteoporosis treatment and vice versa.

All good to have the procedure done. There are no side effects - interactions between laser light and your medications. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
