Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (875/125) for 7 days + a week later doing a laser hair removal session?

E
erzjazJun 6, 2017

I'm on a treatment of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (875/125) tablets for the next 7 days. I would like to go to my laser hair removal session a week later after ending my treatment. Would it be ok to go to my laser hair removal session just a week later after ending this treatment? The thing is is that if I can't attend my session at that time then the next time available to do the session will be 7 weeks after my last laser hair removal session. Is it bad to wait 7 weeks in between the sessions?

Unfortunately, the laser won't work on your light facial hair because there is very little melanin for the laser to target. Also, shaving your hair isn't going to make it grow back darker, so laser hair removal isn't going to be very effective, even if you do shave this area. I would say your...
