SSRI and possible bad interactions with Laser procedure

December 17, 2016
Asked By:Freddie73 in Sanger, California

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.

Ectropion should resolve within a few days. I would optimize healing and then massage the area once the skin has healed over. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

I had a CO2 laser done 4 weeks ago. I am really trying to figure out how to get rid of the waxy feeling?
Stanley P. Gulin, MD (retired) says:

I would suggest seeing a Medical Esthetician who is trained in treating skin after a CO2 treatment. Here at our office our medical esthetician always give our patients a post skin care treatment which helps exfoliate the dry skin.  Good luck to you.
