Doctor Says OK to Have Fraxel While on 10 Mg Accutane - is He Right?

For an elective procedure it is always best to create the safest condition. It would be prudent to finish the course of Accutane and wait six months, at least, and then have the Fraxel, whether, Fraxel Resotre or Repair

I would avoid any laser treatments including Fraxel for at least a full six months after you complete your Accutane. You may not have any reaction but why take that chance?

While Fraxel Restore is technically "non-ablative" it requires a healing response from the skin and skin appendages that are directly impacted by the Accutane. Why not let the Accutane do its job, wait 6 months after you are off and do a test spot to be sure you heal normally? What is the rush? I always suggest you err on the side of caution with elective procedures.

I do not recommend any laser including Fraxel until at least 6 months to 1 year after completion of accutane therapy. The risks outweigh the benefits of using this.

I would strongly advise against any invasive treatment while on isotretinoin (Accutane), including Fraxel (ablative or non-ablative) treatments. There is evidence that abnormal scarring may occur in patients on accutane. 6 months after stopping accutane, you may resume cosmetic treatments.
Some physicians recommend waiting one year, but there is no evidence that the waiting period needs to be quite this long. Increased facial scarring is not worth the risk... Wait 6 months for all invasive cosmetic procedures.
