CO2 Laser Resurfacing while on Eliquis?

Question

I have severe acne scars. Would I be able to have Co2 Laser Resurfacing while on Eliquis?

Anshul Gambhir, MD · Answer

Hi, thank you for your question! Yes, CO2 laser can be performed while taking Eliquis. The CO2 laser is great for acne scarring. I would recommend having an in person consultation to see if this is the best treatment for you.

Kurren Gill, MD · Answer

If you are having an ablative CO2 laser resurfacing procedure performed, I personally would have your provider reach out to the physician prescribing your Eliquis to give recommendations on how long it can be safely held prior to the procedure, and as long as the procedure goes as planned without any unexpected bleeding, it is typically safe to resume the Eliquis on day 1 or 2 after the procedure.Hope this helps!
