Although laser hair removal is directed at the hair folicles, Accutane inhibits the regeneration of damaged skin. The effects last up to a year. To be safe, I would wait a year.

Safer to wait for a year for Laser Hair Removal after Accutane
Robert M. Jensen, MD answers: Accutane and Laser Hair Removal
I took Accutane for 6 weeks and stopped. I will not be continuing with it anymore. Can I have laser hair removal on my chin area, say in 2 months?
Contact the doctor
