CO2 Laser Five and a Half Months After Accutane?

December 31, 2009
Asked By:claire72 in united kingdom

I am due to have CO2 laser on February 10. This will be 5 months and 2 weeks since finishing the generic version of Accutane. I told the dermatologist at the hospital, I was concerned that I had not been off the Accutane for at least 6 months, the dermatologist who specializes in laser who has been doing it for 35 years said it didn't matter and would not hinder my recovery. What do you think? Is 5 1/2 month gap enough. Has anyone done laser after this time length or at the 6 month stage, and did it cause any problems or were the result normal.
