Patient's question:
I have a family history of epilepsy, but it's not very severe. I have been taking medication, and it hasn't caused too much disruption to my daily life. Recently, I wanted to get a photofacial, but the doctor refused to do it after hearing about my epilepsy. I would like to consult about why people with epilepsy cannot undergo photofacial treatments.Doctor's answer:
I'm just afraid that the photofacial process might trigger a recurrence of your epilepsy. Epilepsy patients generally need to maintain a stable surrounding environment and minimize exposure to stimuli to prevent the recurrence of epilepsy symptoms. It is essential to take medication under the guidance of a doctor in a standardized manner for treatment. At the same time, regular blood tests, liver and kidney function tests, etc., should be conducted to check for any abnormalities and guide medication use.In daily life, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy, greasy foods, and eat more vegetables, fruits, and other vitamin-rich foods.
