Is it ok to use LED light therapy while on accutane 60mg/day ?

September 21, 2015
Asked By:yomna_94 in Saudi Arabia, SA

I'm on month 3 on my accutane treatment, taking 60mg/day and have a lot of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and some remaining comedones, a doctor recommended a LED therapy for hyperpigmentation while on accutane. I'm so concerned and afraid that it might damage my skin.
