Currently use a topical treatment for my facial acne containing 0.015% tretionin ad Azeliac acid. Can I do IPL on my body?

Hi. Retinol, Retin-A and Tretinoin are all formulas of Vit A. Vitamin A is extremely important for skin health. Tretinoin is a stronger form of Retinol and Retin-A and prescribed by a physician for treatment of acne, more commonly. It will cause increased cell turnover and diminishes acne pustules. Retinol, Retin-A and Tretionin will help with fine lines, melasma, sun spots and acne. It is important not to use any of these Vitamin A products at least a week before any resurfacing treatment that includes IPL. It can cause the skin to burn with IPL, Laser and any other resurfacing treatment. But it is only located to the area where the resurfacing is being done. So if you apply the tretinoin to your face and the IPL is done on your arms it will not cause problems.
