How long does skin take to normalize after roaccutane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6-12 months: Hello! the number of oil glands is reduced with Accutane (isotretinoin) use and while the body will bounce back, it typically takes months. Any facial resurfacing or surgery is best delayed 6-12 months to allow this process to complete.
