I am taking Doxy 50 for acne treatment & I want to resume my laser treatment for facial hair, but Doxy causes photosensitivity so for how many days should I stop Doxy before the laser session?

Dr. Salim Saab Otolaryngology (ENT)
You might have to stop Doxy for about 2 days because Doxy's half-life is 18 to 22 hours, it will be excreted from your body in about two days (if your kidneys' function is normal). Then, you will be able to resume your laser sessions.
