Retin-A purging and facial IPL hair removal?

pob_1997
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?
