A member asked:
How long does it take for hair to recover after accutane course?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6weeks is normal: The hair follicles in the dermal layer of the skin take approximately 6 weeks to return to normal, and the hair usually follows, but can take longer because accutane can effect our hormonal system and this may last for another couple of months, but usually is not a problem, so don't worry or stress can make it take longer!
