How long should I wait for Laser Genesis after Accutane?

I've been on a very low dose of Accutane, 10mg per day for 2 weeks. After the 2 week-period I decided to stop the Accutane. Should I still wait 6 months before having Laser Genesis (which is non invasive and non ablative)?

A: Do Not Take Chances

 The chances are you would not have a problem. However, there are reports of some severe problems with healing even after short periods of Accutane. My advice would be to wait the six months as recommended by your physician.
