Can I start 20-40mg of Isotretinoin dosage 5 months after aggressive CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

Asked By:Nikos12 in Greece, GR

Hello.My skin is very oily and I am forming blackheads once again while also having a few pimples. I've read that Isotretinoin is interfering with collagen production after co2 laser treatments. Is it ok if I start on a low dosage Isotretinoin at this time or do I have to wait a bit longer?
