Differin Gel 0.1% and laser resurfacing, dermal fillers. Will this cause any problems?

June 29, 2019
Asked By:Dancelife7 in Portland, OR

I have active acne, which a doctor started me on differin gel 2 weeks ago. But I also have hyperpigmentation, pitted scars, rolling scars, large pores, and ice pick scars that I really want to work on. In two weeks I have an appointment with a plastic surgeon to start a plan to work on them but I’m afraid that the gel I am on now will cause any problems. Should I stop using it? What would happen if I continue to use it and do fillers and laser?

Jason Emer, MD says:

Swelling and bruising can last 1 to 2 weeks after lip filler injections. To diminish the bruising, I recommend using LightStim LED or, in more significant cases, a vascular laser or IPL treatment. Arnica with Bromelain ("Arnika Forte") can also be taken to help speed up the healing. If you're...
