Fractional Laser After Accutane?

I'm on a low dose Accutane ie 20mg every fortnight for the past 6 months. Question now is, can I now undergo Fractional laser surgery?

Fractional laser after Accutane

Historically we would advise waiting a minimum of 1 year prior to a resurfacing laser such as a fractional laser. There are many who would now perform it 6 months after finishing Accutane. I certainly would not have fractional laser while on accutane, not worth the potential scarring risk.
