SSRI and possible bad interactions with Laser procedure

Question

Hello, I'm about to undergo 2 laser procedures: 2co fractional 595 But I'm currently on Paroxetina (20 mg /day). Is there any risk of 'bad reactions' or 'interference' between laser & SSRI in general or paroxetina? In case can I suspend the therapy some days before, so that the chemical element would not be present in the body anymore ( Paroxetina is 99% out of body in 4 days or so) Please advise.

Fractional co2 laser is an excellent modality to improve skin texture and tone. I often combine fractional co2 with exilis multiplane tissue tightening to optimize effect. Your medication profile should not prevent the treatment. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

there are very few medications that interfere with laser procedures.  SSRIs will have no affect on the laser.  Best, Dr. Emer.
