I got laser hair removal yesterday (underarms and Brazilian) and today I noticed a few blisters around my bikini line (closer towards my bum). Was the laser set too high? This is the only area where these are, everywhere else is fine. What should I do?

Answer: Yes, the setting is not appropriate for your skin type.
Hello! Thank you for your question. Antibiotics do cause your skin to be photo sensitive. We recommend waiting two weeks after your last dose of antibiotics to receive laser hair removal safely.
Thank you for your question. I understand you are concerned but what you are experiencing is normal. If you have further concerns in the matter, I would suggest following up with your doctor. All the best.
You can absolutely take cetirizine while undergoing laser hair removal. It is an antihistamine which does not make your skin more sensitive to the sun. If you should have any itching or sensitivity after the treatments, it might actually help!
