Laser hair removal and genital herpes?

User Avatar

I had a herpes outbreak one month ago. There is no active outbreak at the moment. Is it OK to get laser on my bikini area now, or ever? Do I need to take any medication before to prevent an outbreak? I don't think I can be on any antibiotics when getting laser treatments.
