This is a great question and I would speak to your primary care doctor to get the clearance to do laser hair removal while taking minoxidil. This is a drug-induced photosensitivity drug which means it can cause counterindications when doing laser hair removal treatments.
First and foremost, see your dermatologist about other ways to increase hair growth (birth control pill, spironolactone, topical minoxidil, PRP injections, low level laser etc) that doesn't result in unwanted facial hair. That said, if you're set on staying on oral minoxidil, then yes, laser hair removal would be safe to do.
Hello and thank you for your question. To my knowledge at home laser devices do not cause cancer. That being said, they aren’t very effective for hair removal. Its best to see a professional and get a proper treatment. Best wishes. Dr. T
Hello, we don't recommending using any products prior to your laser treatment. We want the skin to be completely clean before performing a laser procedure.
Hello, no you should never do laser hair removal on accutane no matter what the dose. We will not do any laser procedures on anyone that has taken accutane in the last six months it is way too risky.
