I have been on retina / retisol for a few years now, and about 7 months ago, i went on diane 35. now my acne has cleared up a lot, and i still use the retina every night to help with my scars and to make sure my face stays clear. The retina works some, but it hasn't faded my hyperopigmentation scars like i wanted it to. A little bit back, I was going to get a mirco dermabraison to help my scars, but I wasn't able to get it since the people doing it said you have to be off retina for atleast 2 months before getting a micro done. now, my question is, should i go off retina for 2 months so i can get a micro done, or do you think ill break out again? Im also still on diane 35 and don't plan on going off. please tell me what you think :(

You need to stop RetinA for a week before getting a Microderm. I have been told my the Esthetician and I do fine. It all depends on your skin. You do need to stop for a least a week. Then let them know so they can adjust the microderm suction.
