Can I take Minocycline tablets and continue laser hair removal?

28-year-old woman4 years ago
Hello, I started a treatment of minocycline and I wanted to know if I can continue to do laser hair removal since on the jar it says: Can make the skin sensitive to the sun. I do the bikini, underarms and upper lip areas. Thank you

Hello Ma'am,
I do not recommend using laser hair removal while taking this medication (and up to 1 month after stopping it). Indeed, it is possible that a sharp reaction of the skin may occur following the exposure to the laser (a kind of burn).
The best thing is to finish the treatment with minocycline and resume hair removal sessions afterwards.
Happy end of day,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
