What medications will disqualify a person for laser tattoo removal?

Question

Wayne Wertheim, MD · Answer

there are only a couple of common medications that i can think of that would be of concern These would be any medication that causes a sun sensitivity such as Accutane, Retin A and the "cycline" antibiotics (mostly doxycycline). That being said you should present your doctor with a list of current meds that you are taking for their review. Good Luck!

Thanks for you question.  Since we can't cover every medication possible, you really should get a medical consultation.  Generally, the most common medicines that disqualify patients from any laser treatment are Accutane in the last year or any sun sensitizing medicine.  Best of luck.
