Question: Can I apply acne medication on areas that are being treated for laser hair removal? Is it going it be harmful for the skin if I apply acne medication that contains sulfur on the areas being treated for laser hair removal? I’m actually using a laser home hair removal but I want to be sure that what I’ll be doing is safe. Should I continue the laser hair removal treatment after applying the anti acne medication? Basically I’ve already had 6 sessions of laser hair removal. Should I stop now? Or do I still have to continue doing it?
Answer: Considering how harsh acne treatments generally are, most possess an acid of some sort as a main ingredient. So it’s not a good idea to apply it to any area of the skin that is damaged or sensitive. That’s just asking for trouble. But if you’ve already applied it and you don’t see any allergic reaction or irritation, then good for you. But I suggest you hold it off for a while before you get another session of laser hair removal. This is because your skin can be very sensitive at this time, and getting a laser hair removal done on the area where an anti acne medication is applied would probably mean disaster.
The proper spacing per treatment for laser hair removal is to wait for the hairs to grow back again. If they grow back, that is about time that you have to visit your laser hair removal clinic and have another session of the treatment. But if you’re applying medication to it, then you need to space it longer then.
