Can you perform full face & neck CO2 without prophylactic antibiotics?

Question

I have a sensitive stomach and prefer not to use antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. Is it possible to have the full face/neck CO2 procedure without antibiotics?

Michael S. Mall, MD · Answer

It depends upon the type of Co2 laser being used. With the newer micro-fractionated lasers such as Accupulse II from Lumenis, the holes are so small(10 microns), that no prophylactic antibiotics are needed, even for full face and neck areas to be tteated.
