Thank you for your question in regards to laser hair removal. It is suggested to refrain from laser treatments while taking antibiotics and/or some medications as they can put you at a higher risk of skin sensitivity. I suggest to resume laser sessions once you complete your antibiotic. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question!
It is not recommended to do laser hair removal while you are on antibiotics.  This is because antibiotics may increase photosensitivity.  I would advise waiting 1-2 weeks after you finish the last dose to begin your laser hair removal treatments.  Hope this helps!

Hello, I usually recommend to finish the antibiotics before resuming your laser treatments because they can make you more photo sensitive.  Good luck!
