Why is it needed to stop tretinoin (I'm using retin-a micro) 5 days before Morpheus8?

I've done co2 laser resurfacing before and my dermatologist was fine with me taking it until 25 hours before the procedure. I'm seeing a different practitioner for morpheus8 and they want me to stop 5 days before treatment. Why is that? Will it cause PIH with morpheus if I didnt stop retin-a?
