A member asked:

Will i continue to see positive results even after finishing my claravis/ isotreitnion, i heard it stays in ur blood working .. n sum get clear after?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acne: Isotretinoin will accumulate in the tissue and can be in the system up to 6 months from the last pill you took. Therefore, avoid doing anything that can injure the skin such as laser for scaring, chemical peels or brow waxing. You will continue to see positive results after your last pill intake.
