No.  Anyone recommending treatments of almost anything of a completely elective cosmetic nature while taking Accutane is inviting trouble.  Accutane causes the lips to dry and peel, increasing their irritability and susceptibility to infection and cold sore outbreak.  Why risk it?

Accutane is probably best used without undergoing cosmetic procedures.  It really impacts skin healing and especialy peeled or lasered skin, you probably want to be off of it for several weeks before undergoing any cosmetic procedures.
