How long should I stop using Retin-A before a TCA peel or microneedling?

Thank you for your question! You should discontinue use of Retin-A about 2 weeks prior to your TCA peel or microneedling procedure. You will also be unable to use Retin-A for 2 weeks after both procedures. As always, double check with the provider who is doing your procedures for what their protocols are. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your question. I’d recommend stopping for about 5 days, but if you are using a strong formulation or Tazorac, probably a bit longer. Check with your provider for their specific instructions. Beat of luck!
