How long after finishing doxycycline can I get laser hair removal?

Question

I've been prescribed doxycycline for 2 months and wondering when can I get laser hair removal.

Danielle Shanley, MD · Answer

Hello Generous153156 thank you for your question. For laser hair removal 2 weeks after your last dose is the recommended time frame for waiting. Certain medications can make your skin prone to irritation or burning from laser hair removal so 2 weeks ensures no sensitivity.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Doxycycline is UV sensitive, not LASER sensitive, you can get hair removal while on doxycycline.  I suggest you see an expert.  I have all my clients use VIVATIA while getting hair removal (see link). Best, Dr. Emer.
