When Can I Use Retin-A After Fraxel Restore?

all_smiles
I have some mild acne scarring and I just had my first Fraxel Restore treatment. I discontinued Retin-A (Tretinoin 0.1%) about a week prior. I plan on having 2 more Fraxel treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart. I'm wondering when I can begin using Retin-A again, and whether I can use it in between treatments.
