Should Duac and Tazarac be stopped before filler injections?

rhowasaJul 20, 2015
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?
