Retin-A can be used 4 weeks after an ablative procedure with the approval of your treatment provider. This is a general guideline, with the understanding that there were no complications with skin recovery.

Thank you for your question. In my opinion, I would restart Retin-A once your skin is no longer red or peeling from the laser. I highly recommend you consult with the medical technician who performed your laser treatment. Take care and good luck.
