April 30, 2020
Asked By:pob_1997 in New York, New York

Hello docs. Noone has ever asked this question. im from Singapore and my skin is acne prone but it is clear and stable now after being on retin A 0.1% for 2 years and I already went through the worst skin purging and now I’m planning on getting laser hair removal done for my face, which (i think) requires me to stop retinoid routine. Will i have to go through retinoid purging again (6m later) once I'm done with my facial hair removal?
