Fraxel laser After Soret (Accutane)

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Fraxel Laser after Sotret acne treatment?

I finished a 5 month course of Sotret in February 2008 and a second repeat course of 3 months of Sotret 10mg this month.

My doctos says that due to the low dosage of Sotret that I was on, we can start to repair the acne scars I have with Fraxel laser with a gap of just 2 months. Is that good advice or should I wait longer?

Hi Aussie,

We rountinely wait at least 6 months to one year before treating patients with Fraxel laser who have take Soret (Accutane).

Not worth the risk.
