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

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?
