Can I get Laser Hair Removal while I take Bupropion?

Wellbutrin (bupropion) is an antidepressant medication that can increase the risk of seizures, especially at high doses. Although there is no evidence that Wellbutrin interacts with laser hair removal (LHR), it is always best to consult with your prescribing doctor and the provider performing the LHR to ensure it is safe for you to undergo the treatment while taking Wellbutrin.

Some people may be advised to temporarily discontinue their medication prior to LHR treatment to reduce the risk of potential side effects. However, it is important to follow your doctor's advice and not abruptly stop or change the dosage of your medication without their guidance.

Additionally, it's important to note that there may be other factors that could impact your eligibility for LHR, such as skin color, hair color, and other medical conditions. It's always a good idea to discuss your concerns and medical history with a qualified provider before proceeding with any cosmetic procedure.

One has no influence on the other. You can continue your treatment while doing LHR. Hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question. You can receive laser hair removal while still taking wellbutrin. If you are nervous, please speak with your provider, but there are no contraindications between these two things. Good luck on your hair removal journey:)
