I've been battling Acne for some time, and I'm seeing great results from Accutane. However, it makes my Rosacea redness significantly worse. I understand I won't be able to get any laser help for some time, but is there any hope for me? My nose is bright red all the time!
In addition to avoiding all of the known triggers for rosacea, I suggest diligent use of sunscreen (SPF 50) as well as the new Skinmedica "redness relief calmplex." This topical product works by inhibiting a prostaglandin (PGE2) which causes inflammation and vasodilation. It also moisturizes the skin with niacinamide and ceramides which is essential while on Accutane.
After Accutane, I'll be off any kind of elective treatment for a year, so can I get fillers in my nasolabial folds and lips BEFORE starting the drug?
But lips dry up and the skin dries up during Accutane treatment, so will that dry up the filler, make it hard?
It seems reasonable to have these treatments done before starting on Accutane. It is impossible to tell you how you will respond during the Accutane treatment but all you can really do is have the Restylane a few weeks before and see.
I finished a three month course of Accutane (80 mg) a month ago with great results and wanted to know how long I needed to wait before using a 20% salicylic gel peel. Thank you.
After Accutane treatments you should wait at least 6 months before undergoing elective surgical treatments. Gives the proposed peel which will burn your skin, you might be well advised to wait a full year.
