I take Bactrim (Sulfameth) antibiotics daily for chronic sinus infection. Can I do the genesis laser facial at the same time? My dermatologist recommended it as I'm allergic to many topical treatments/substances

Answer: Antibiotics not a problem with Laser Genesis
Thank you for your question and I am sorry that you have had the feelings of redness and sensitivity. My recommendation is for you to see a dermatologist since you are still experiencing complications, as you should not have any downtime or major discomfort with Genesis.
I treat patients who are on Doxy all the time with Laser Genesis. Just make your technician aware. He or she may want you to avoid Doxy the day of treatment, which is fine. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. ...
Laser Genesis is typically spaced 2 weeks apart. As an absolute MINIMUM I would do at least 1 week between treatments. Skincare is a marathon not a sprint- no need to rush!
