A member asked:
Is it okay to use laser resurfacing for acne after you have been on roacutane ( oral pills )?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: It depends on how long ago you were on the meds, how high the dosage was, and if you need laser resurfacing. Your doctor can evaluate that during a consult prior to booking the procedure.

wait 6 months: If you have been on Accutane you must wait before getting laser resurfacing. I usually tell my patients about 6 months to be on the safe side.
