I am planning to do a Halo laser treatment soon and had completely forgotten that I recently started Doxy. I know antibiotics and lasers don't mesh. I had only been on them for 3 days, but I stopped the antibiotics and by the time I have the procedure I will have been off them for 5 days. I also use tazorac, which I will have been off of for 5 days. Since it's a relatively new laser I can't find much info online about it. Will this be a sufficient amount of time or should I reschedule?
