Should Duac and Tazarac be stopped before filler injections?

Question

I have an appt for consultation and possible treatment for deep nasolabial folds on Wednesday July 22. I currently use Duac and Tazarac on alternate nights (keeps acne under control). Should I stop using these medications prior to the filler injection? What about after?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

there is no reason you need to stop skin care of tazorac or others before fillers.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There is no need to stop your topical Duac and Tazarac medications before receiving filler treatments. These medications will not affect the filler treatment. You may resume these medications and your normal skin care regimen following treatment. Best wishes.

Hi, you do not need to stop your tazorac or duac prior to receiving injectible fillers.  After your injections, you may continue your normal skin care regimen.

No reason to do so, Duac and Tazarac are skin directed topical, ie. Creams. Fillers do not affect these creams as it is placed in the deeper layersDr Davin Lim
