Laser tattoo removal: I have to take amoxicillin to cure a sinus infection today. Can I?

Question

I had the second session of laser tattoo removal yesterday.

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question in regards to tattoo removal. Taking an antibiotic for a sinus infection should not interfere with your laser tattoo removal treatments. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

There is no reason to avoid taking an antibiotic for a sinus infection.  If you had some type of a skin infection especially near the tattoo then we would not treat.

you should use a Picosure laser for your tattoo removal so that you need only half of the treatments!! you should space your treatments at least 6 weeks apart.david berman md
