Is Microdermabrasion Safe While on Retin-A?

I have been on Retin-A therapy for about one year, and I would like to begin microdermabrasion treatments, is this safe?

A: Microdermabrasion and Retin-A

I would generally recommend stopping Retin-A for 2 weeks prior to microdermabrasion. Retin-A can make your skin more sensitive and could increase your healing time from the microdermabrasion. However, I do think Retin-A is an effective medicine for photoaging and would recommend restarting it after the microdermabrasion.
