Thanks for your question.
I understand that you had been on Accutane for only a couple months, and did not finish the full course. But, it is generally advised to wait one year after any Accutane treatment before pursuing any kind of elective surgery or laser surgery. Of course, there are many variables, namely, what type of procedure you plan on doing (ablative laser, nonablative laser, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, etc). Any procedure that causes bleeding or scabbing must be done after waiting a minimum of one year post accutane.
In my opinion, a fractional CO2 laser (fractional ablative) is probably the best laser treatment for acne scarring. There are others such as the Fraxel and Palomar (fractional nonablative), but you get the most bang for your buck from the fractional CO2. To do this laser, I would strongly recommend waiting at least one year after accutane.
Hope this helps!
