Can I use tretinoin while I am lasering my legs? In order to get rid of the strawberry legs? (Photo)

Question

Usha Rajagopal, MD · Answer

You should check with your provider, however it should be fine to continue your topical retinoid between treatments. At my practice we advise our patients to avoid active products over the treated area 1 week pre- and post-procedurally.

You need to be off of all retinols for 7 days prior to any laser services. So, depending on how close together your hair removal appointments are, as long as you can discontinue use for the 7 days prior to each, in between services will be ok. Each provider may have their own recommendations, so be sure to check with yours.
