Can i do lasers to get rid of post inflammatory hyper pigmentation while on isotretinion? also laser scar removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: This medication will make you extremely sensitive to the tissue effects of ANY laser system be it for acne, scar revision , pigments or hair. No laser therapy should be done, in my practice I make people wait a year some say 6 months but that is to risky for me and some are more conservative and wait over a year. Remember you can wait and be safe or have a horrible complication that lasts for ever
