A member asked:
Is it safe to do microdermabrasion or a light chemical peel six months after finishing absorica (accutane) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Six months is enough: It is typically safe to get a chemical peel or microdermabrasion six months or more after you have finished a course of Accutane. It is safest to consult with cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist, as your skin type and amount of correction you need, play a role in the best treatment for you.
