I have been getting chemical peels (Jessner's and VI peel), and I have discontinued tretinoin two weeks before the peels to play it safe. Do I need to do this before I get a hydrafacial, as well?
Answer: Do I need to stop using tretinoin before my hydrafacial treatment? Yes,Technically, tretinoin should be temporary stopped 2 weeks before a HydraFacial procedure because the treatment includes a Glycolic/Salicyclic peel. However, some skin types can safely tolerate the HydraFacial despite the continued use of tretinoin. I hope this helps.

Answer: Why you should stop the use of tretinoin before a Hydrafacial treatment It is recommended to discontinue use of tretinoin or any retinol products 3 to 5 days prior to a Hydrafacial treatment. During Hydrafacial glysal is used which is glycolic and salicylic acid for a chemical exfoliation. To avoid irritation or sensitivity to the glysal it is best to avoid tretinoin leading up to your Hydrafacial.

Answer: Hydrafacial & Tretinoin Use Recommendations HydraFacial does have the Glysal Prep that contains both glycolic and salicylic acid. Using tretinoin can cause excess irritation. I would recommend speaking to your provider. 5-7 days of discontinued use of tretinion should be fine especially if you are on .025 or .05% tretinoin and the Glysal Prep is 7.5%. Thinner skin, stronger tretinoin or daily use of, could cause too much sensitivity to the HydraFacial therefore, 10-14 days of discontinued use may be needed. The best option is to speak to your provider and inform them of the strength and frequency of tretinoin use and the percentage of the Glysal on/or HydraFacial tips that may be used (blue, orange, purple) blue tip being the most gentle.Hope you find this answer helpful.

Answer: Eliminating Tretinoin Prior The hydrafacial treatment includes a light glycolic peel that may irritate the patients with sensitive skin that are actively using tretinoin. For this reason we recommend that patients with sensitive skin stop using tretinoin approximately 5 days before their hydrafacial treatment.

Answer: Stopping Tretinoin prior to a Hydrafacial Patients who tolerate tretinoins can typically continue products with a hydrafacial since the glycolic and salicylic peel are light. Patients who have sensitive skin should discontinue retinols/ retinoids prior to a hydrafacial for 2 days to 2 weeks depending on their skin sensitivity.
