Is it okay/safe to have an IPL facial while on antibiotics and prednisone for a cold? (Photo)

You have asked an excellent question about the possible interaction of the medications you're taking and light or laser treatment.  There are some drugs which will cause increased skin sensitivity to light.  I would recommend checking with your doctor or pharmacist to see if the medications you rare taking cause light sensitivity.

Thanks for your question. I'd wait. Prednisone can slow down your healing from any procedure. Some drugs increase your sensitivity to light, including some antibiotics. Best to wait a couple of weeks before having a cosmetic treatment.
