Can I get facials while on Trenton?

Question

I have been using Tretinoin for a month. My skin is purging with a lot of whiteheads and black heads and I got a facial! Can I get facials every month just to keep it maintained?

Deborah M. Longwill, DO · Answer

You can get facials in conjunction with tretinoin therapy however we typically recommend stopping the tretinoin at least 5 days before most procedures to minimize the chance of an adverse reaction.I recommend you see a dermatologist in your area for further treatment options.

Thanks for your question.  It sounds like you are getting good results from your treatment.  Depending on your skin's sensitivity, we have you stop your nightly retinol 2-5 days before chemical peels or facials.  You can restart 2-5 days after your in office treatment.  When in doubt, check with your local provider.  Best of luck.
