Hi I’m taking Lymecycline and using the Epiduo gel for my acne which is helping great I’m just wondering Can I get tear through fillers while using the Epiduo and taking the lymecycline? Thank you!

Answer: Tear trough filler while on Epiduo Hi, getting filler while on oral antibiotics and topical medicines for acne is perfectly safe. It should not interfere with your procedure at all. However, just as a side note, being on oral antibiotics for acne should always be a short course. Being on them for longer for 3-4 months without a plan to taper can become problematic. Also to help prevent bruising from your filler add some fresh pineapple into your diet a few days before!

Answer: Tear Trough Fillers Hi mariawilson48, As long as you don't have active acne near the area to be treated, taking antibiotics and using the Epiduo gel is no issue. Taking antibiotics won't cause you to swell or bruise more. Other drugs like blood thinners and antioxidants do.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
