Can Accutane improve Rosacea once finished? My Rosacea is the worst it's been! Very inflamed and burning.

We use accutane with a comprehensive skincare program to make the results last. once you stop accutane the oil gland production may return to normal and your rosacea will be back. We have comprehensive treatment protocols to treat such kind of rosacea that is intractable. 

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Accutane is not a treatment for rosacea. it may improve some of the papules associated with the disease but will no improve the overall picture of rosacea. There are many treatment modalities that do work
