A member asked:
How many days after microdermabrasion can i use retin-a and hydroquinone? thanks.

Ask dermatologist: Who performed the procedure. Since Retin A (tretinoin) is a potent agent which makes your skin peel I would imagine that he would recommend holding off until your skin is recovered fully from the surgery.
