A member asked:
My girl is on accutane and she's also receiving her collagen activation therapy for resurfacing of scars left by acne, is it ok to do so?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be problem: Most people wait about 6 months after cessation of Accutane to perform resurfacing procedures. Collagen induction therapy is slightly unique because it does not cause the same injury as an ablative procedure
