When to have laser treatment for redness after Accutane?

I have taken 5 mg of Accutane once daily for 2 1/2 weeks for mild adult acne, rosacea, which cleared residual papules, and I'm going to have laser therapy to clear underlying facial redness. However, the doctors said I have to wait a year before they will do treatment because of 2 weeks of Accutane, which I have stopped. I am a little desperate as to know what to do as acne is returning. Please advise what period of time is reasonable to get the Accutane out of my system and pursue laser treatment (I am thinking of Lumenis One laser)
