Which is Better Cure for Pimples, Accutane or Laser Therapy Treatment?

Dowil
Hi! I'm 23 and having pimples for 1 year. I'm thinking to take accutane as my pimples don't get any better after trying a lot of topical medication and any other oral antibiotics. I did try laser therapy for 1month and it seemed better result but it only lasted for few weeks. My question are : 1. Which is a better cure for pimples? is it laser therapy or Accutane ? 2. Can I take it as a major cure for my pimples and leave all topical medication (eg: Benzoyl peroxide,Salicylic acid)?
