Can I take Omeprazole 20mg (for acid reflux) for a couple of days if I'm currently doing a laser hair removal treatment?

My first session was two weeks ago and the next one is in 35 days.

I suggest consulting with your physician to have a hormone panel test done, as facial hair in women is commonly a hormonal imbalance. Laser hair removal will improve this area and rid the hair on your chin in a series of treatments. Please consult with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

If you go back they will definitely need to use a more conservative setting, because it seems that the settings that were used here were way too strong for your skin. After post laser burns heal they can leave a dark spot, especially if you have a history of hyper pigmentation or scarring easily...

You want the skin completely clean when you get any laser treatments to avoid burn or lack of efficacy.  Best, Dr. Emer.
