Microdermabrasion performed 6 months or longer after Accutane should not be a problem. Historically we advised 1 year to wait for various procedures, but most physicians find 6 months to be safe as well.
Safe to have Microdermabrasion while on Roaccutane?
I have been on Roaccutane 6/7 months ago. Will microdermabrasion be safe to use to remove the brown spots/pigmentation on my cheeks?
