Is it safe to get dermal fillers while on Accutane?

Question

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Hi @christineg. Yes, it it safe to receive dermal fillers while on Accutane, but you will most likely experience increased redness and swelling for a few days longer than usual because of the effect of Accutane on the skin.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

Dermal fillers are fine to get while on Accutane but you will probably stay a little red or swollen for a day or two longer than usual because of the effect of Accutane on the skin.

Filler injections, since they are not ablative and do not interfere with the healing process, should not pose a problem during Accutane treatment. However, why take a chance at all?
    My recommendation would be to wait two months following your last Accutane dose and then you should be OK for the procedure. .
