counterindication of lasering while using Retin A?

I am wondering if anyone out there has had laser hair removal while using Retin A?? I am having my first session next Tuesday and am thinking I should stop the Retin A for a few days?

Is Retin A really helping your acne? I've been using it for 2 months now and have seen no change.

I am actually using Demulen on my face and Triaz wash in the shower and my face/neck has really cleared up. Honestly, though I think it is clear cause I stopped plucking and messing with the hair on my face and neck (I am getting laser and have to shave now).

Are those prescription drugs?

yeah, they both are. The Differin gel is a synthetic Retin A that is supposed to be less harsh that retin A...the Triaz wash is a peroxide cream cleanser that helps with antibacterial-ness.

They do work but like I said I think the main reason I am clearing up is cause I have stopped fiddling with my face and the hairs!

Good luck!

DUH! Demulen is my BCP, I use DIFFERIN on my face! Sorry am a bit scattered these days!
