Got prescribed penicillin for strep throat, and have just finished a 10 day course. I am scheduled for laser hair removal tomorrow. Is this safe? Does penicillin cause photosensitivity?

Thank you for your question. I understand you are concerned but what you are experiencing is normal. If you have further concerns in the matter, I would suggest following up with your doctor. All the best.
You can absolutely take cetirizine while undergoing laser hair removal. It is an antihistamine which does not make your skin more sensitive to the sun. If you should have any itching or sensitivity after the treatments, it might actually help!
Hello asking1. In your case I would agree that the Alex laser would be the best bet for your skin type. At Monroe Comprehensive Laser Center in Monroe, Mi, we use the Gentlemax pro, known for comfort and efficacy. Most people would require 6 or so monthly to every 6 weeks treatments...
