Does Doxycycline Interfere with the Effectiveness of Laser Resurfacing?

Why won't some doctors prescribe doxycycline to prevent breakouts during a series of laser treatments? Does it somehow interfere with the effectiveness of the laser resurfacing? If so, is there something else I can do to prevent breakouts? Please help.
