Do you recommend a safe analgesic medication to take before laser treatment?

Also, are there any contraindications to the laser if I take Diane-35, Cetirizine (regularly 20mg to 40mg/day), and tylenol/advil as needed?

Hello Mrs.,
would it be possible to have more information on the type of laser treatment you will receive?
If we are talking about laser hair removal, there are no contraindications with the medication you are taking. However, some clinics recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory drugs (such as Advil) for 48 hours before and after the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising, since this medication can thin the blood
On the other hand, if your procedure is localized on a small area (under the armpits for example), you can apply a topical anesthetic. Lidocaine-based Emla cream is available in pharmacies.
I hope I have answered your question. I remain available for any further information
