I am talking about the home safety to use red light device as a photorejuvenation procedure wth Accutane devices like Baby Quasar or ANSR red light. Thanks!

Red light devices and accutane

I believe these non-invasive red light devices are safe while on accutane. I would, however, delay any laser resurfacing, chemical peels, dermabrasion or any other procedure that removes the superficial layers of skin until 6-12 months after discontinuation of accutane. Good luck.
