I always tell my patients, if a facial feels good for you torelax, get it. If you are actuallytrying to improve your skin in the long term, do Dermapen instead. You know when you go on a trip and you get afacial, you glow that day, then go back to looking normal the day after. After Dermapen, you glow for a month and getlong-lasting collagen production. You can get Dermapen (or microneedling) with blood or spundown blood to isoloate the PRP (platelet rich plasma). This boosts the efficacy of microneedling bypenetrating your own growth factors deep into your skin, again, causing morecollagen production and lon-lasting benefits for your skin. I prefer PRP over blood because we haveisolated the growth factor portion of the blood to use in the treatment. You can expect improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation,and a long-lasting glow. Personally, Ilove this treatment and try to get it done every couple of months. You will be addicted too. Promise!
Thank you for your question! You can still get a facial while using Retin-A Micro, however, since your skin will be a little more sensitive due to using the Retin-A I would recommend that your esthetician use products to calm your skin during the facial. I would also suggest that you make your esthetician aware of what products you are using and only have them do a light exfoliation, if any at all. Hope this helps, good luck!

You can do both to help remove blackheads and whiteheads however be careful about the sie of a peel. Your skin is more sensitive.
You can have a facial while using Retin-A, but it all depends on what type of facial you are having. Retin-A should loosen up the blackheads and make your pores easier to clean. My patinets benefit from oxygen facials in gently cleaning out and repairing the skin.
Hello badang31, My name is Melanie I am a Medical Aesthetician at Aesthetic Skin located in Chicago, IL. This is a great question! Yes, it is completely safe to receive a facial, just remember to discontinue use of the tretinoin 72 hours prior to your facial appointment. I hope this helps!...

Hi! Thank you for the question! Having a PRP facial would be a great treatment after having dermal filler. I would highly recommend discussing this with the provider you chose for the treatment. PRP will help the texture of the skin. I hope this helps. Best wishes!
