Do I need to stop Differin before lasers and peels?

Doctor's Answer

Hi!

Your doctor should be informed of your skin care regime so that he/she can give you the correct instructions prior to the procedure.

In general, we recommend patients to stop differin for a few days before and after peels. This is because differin may worsen post procedure dryness and also increases photosensitivity.
