Thermascan 1319 Safe After Accutane and Effective for Oily, Acne Skin?

I am a 42 yo cauc fem with hormonal acne. I discontinued a 4 month course of generic Accutane(Claravis) in Aug due to increased cholesterol and hair loss. It was suggested to have 3 Thermascan 1319 treatments (each 2 weeks apart) to help.
In your experience is this safe to do now it has been 8 months off Claravis? Are there long term side effects to be aware of? I was told facial redness for a day or so but no chance of scarring etc like with the Pixel laser. Thank you.
