My face was badly burned from RF Micro. Could Tretinoin contribute to the burns? I discontinued use 48 hrs prior (Photo)

Question

Can Tretinoin increase the risk of burns from RF Microneedling? I had RFM several times. I’ve never been so badly burned as this last procedure. I discontinued Tretinoin 48 hrs prior to the treatment Wondering if the burn were caused by not discontinuing sooner or if the machine was off-label, Chinese sourced (Groupon). Thank you!

The lesions may have resulted from unsuitable parameters / device design and worsened by skin dryness from tretinoin use. Allow complete healing using a bland medicated moisturizer and mild steroid for a week in consultation with your doctor. More information on the device and settings used would help comment further. Tretinoin should ideally be discontinued a week before & after such procedures.
