After Accutane treatments you should wait at least 6 months before undergoing elective surgical treatments. Gives the proposed peel which will burn your skin, you might be well advised to wait a full year.

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: How long after Accutane can I get a salicylic gel peel?
I finished a three month course of Accutane (80 mg) a month ago with great results and wanted to know how long I needed to wait before using a 20% salicylic gel peel. Thank you.

A: Wait a year

I would recommend waiting at least a year after finishing Accutane before considering any kind of resurfacing treatment. Peels, laser treatments, and dermabrasion are all types of skin resurfacing, so I would wait a year to prevent scarring.
