Thermage and Accutane

Ran Y. Rubinstein, MD answers: How long after Accutane can I get Thermage?

Or should I get Thermage BEFORE starting Accutane? Wait for a month and then start Accutane?

Thermage is a radio wave based device that is not invasive.  I would approach it in a similar manner as other non ablative procedures.  I would approach having Thermage after Accutane with caution and wait at least 6 months.  For more invasive laser procedures, it is advisable to wait 1 year.
