I have read recommendations in literature for the use of prednisone after laser for swelling. Can someone opt out and if so will the swelling still subside without the use.

Answer: Not necessary Halo can cause pretty significant swelling in some cases. its not entirely predictable who will swell and who wont. We will prescribe prednisone to some patients with a known history of swelling with other procedures and on a case by case basis. It is absolutely not necessary to take prednisone after the procedure and taking it does not alter the final results of the procedure, it merely makes some of the post procedure a bit more comfortable.
