A member asked:
When can you have laser done after accutane course?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Laser after Accutane: i recommend that you wait one year after you finish Accutane as you are more likely to form scar tissue if you have earlier treatments with the laser.

At least 6 mo: The use of acetone makes your skin very sensitive to ALL lasers. I make my patients wait at least 6 months preferably a year after taking the last dose. If you don't wait the risk of getting a burn , scar and other adverse reactions is much greater
