Can I Get Laser Treatment 3 Months Post Accutane?

User Avatar

I'm a month from finishing my Accutane course, and I'm VERY anxious to get some laser treatments for my red nose and cheeks. He claims that 3 months will be enough time for my skin to heal after Accutane to get laser treatments. While I really want the treatments... I've read 6-12 months is the norm. I plan to get aggressive with my laser treatments, possibly purpuric. Should I be concerned with my doctors recommendation?
