Accutane can interfere with the production of collagenase. This is an enzyme that breaks down excessive collagen during the healing process. When this happens, a keloidal type scar or a hyperplastic scar (excess tissue) may result. This is why most dermatologists and plastic surgeons advise avoiding ablative procedures for 6 months to a year after Accutane.
Many of us, including myself, have used collagen injections to help acne scarring. I never had an untoward result and have not read of the same in others. Although I am unaware of similar findings with hyaluronic fillers, these appear to be safe for acne scar injections also.
