A: Mole removal while on Accutaneai
In my experience I have not seen any undesired responses to minor surgery - like a shave excision- while on Accutane or immediately following it's treatment. The literature does describe an incrEased risk with more significant or major procedures. Since you express some anxiety , its your face,and no one can promise you that you won't have a reaction, it would probably be prudent to Wait for 6 months after finishing the Accutane .
Chemical Peel or Laser Resurfacing After Accutane Treatments
I am done with the 6-month Accutane treatment, and now I am desperately waiting to get either a Chemical Peel or Laser Resurfacing for severe acne. Which of the two is better, and when can I get started with the treatment?
A: 2 years
If you've had a full course of Accutane, my recommendation is to wait 2 years until getting a deep chemical peel or ablative laser resurfacing. Better to be safe. It sounds like you are hoping to start treatments for you acne scars now and you can. Depending on the type of scarring, other treatments may include punch grafts and punch excisions, fillers, subscision etc.
