Accutane helps scarring somewhat. It is found to decrease the pink discoloration of scarring quite significantly.
At one time plastic surgeons and cosmetically oriented dermatologists would actually refer their patients for Accutane treatment prior to embarking on peeling procedures such as dermabrasion or chemical peels. However, there were some notable disasters as healing can be distorted after Accutane.
With some of these experiences under our belt, we now know that patients should wait at least a year prior to scar correction.
Fractionated laser such as Fraxel Repair are probably the most effective for improving your acne scarring. I say improving because, totally normal skin with even today's technoloiges is asking too much.
Good luck.
