CO2 Laser & UTI Medicine?

February 18, 2022
Asked By:mathiebl in Newport News, Virginia

I have an appointment Monday for CO2 laser for my face to help with scarring. I have already driven a long way for this appointment. I just started having really bad UTI symptoms a few hours ago and I am not sure if it is okay to take antibiotics before the procedure. I ran to the store to grab some analgesic which I just took and also grabbed an antibacterial (methenamine). Am I able to take antiobiotics or at least the antibacterial?

Severe glabellar lines and major collagen loss - should I try C02 Laser or dermal fillers?
Ozgur Kartal, MD says:

Hello, dermal filler may be much better for you than laser. It would be more correct to ask this subject to plastic surgeons or dermatologists. I am a gynecologist. I have no experience with these regions.
