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: 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.
