Hello, I am on my 5th laser hair removal session. The laser hair removal is being performed on my beard area to remove my male beard hair. So far it is succesful. I also introduced tretinoin (0,025mg) a bunch of weeks ago as prescribed by my dermatologist. I apply tretioin only to my mid face and forehead NOT on my beard area. Do i still need to stop tretinoin before and after having the Laser hair removal procedure? (male, 29 years old, fair meditteranean skin) Thanks a lot.
