Avoid waxing or threading while on Accutane

I recommend avoiding waxing, threading, or any other procedure where the skin is rubbed or stripped while you are on Accutane, and for at least 6 months after your course is finished. This includes any laser procedures for acne scarring. Your skin is more fragile during and after Accutane and may not heal as well as it normally would. Using bleach may irritate the skin, as your skin is more sensitive when you are using Accutane.
