Should I stop using Tretinoin before microneedling?

I like to have my patients hold on the Tetrinoin 2-3 days prior to microneedling because the skin might be more sensitive, but Tetrinoin will not interfere with the microneedling results.

Hi mrslim7,Avoid any known skin irritants such as retinoids, tretinoin, and alpha hydroxyl acids 3-5 days prior to microneedling treatment unless otherwise directed by your clinician. These agents can make skin more sensitive. If you have skin conditions, psoriasis, cystic or inflammatory acne or cold sores, inform your clinician.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
