When can you get an Aqualyx treatment after roaccutane?

Question

I’d like to undergo a Aqualyx treatment for the underchin, when I finish Roaccutane. Now I don’t have a clue if I can do it immediateley after, or should wait a certain perdiod…My dermatologist told my to discuss this with the practioner. I’ve had 2 consultations so far, but both doctors told me something different. The first one told me I should at lesst wait 6 months. The other one said I could start right away. What is the amount of time I have to wait, for it to be safe?

The standard response is usually to wait six months after completing treatment of Accutane before having elective surgical procedures.
The drug can create issues with healing and scar tissue formation.
The treatment you’re having is an injection and it’s not a surgical procedure.
If your injector is telling you to wait six months then you’ll need to follow that person‘s recommendations.
Personally I find these treatments to be inferior on every level compared to Liposuction which can easily be done as an office-based procedure using local anesthesia.
Liposuction is far more effective as well as being more predictable, Causing Farless swelling and inflammation, can be accomplished with a single procedure and in the end it’s probably equal in cost.
It’s also really important to get an accurate assessment in regards to how much fat is actually contributing to the problem.
95% of people Seeking treatment for a double chin have a facial skeleton and balance with a small mandible or A mandible that lacks projection.
Skin, put this on muscle, so platysmal fat and subcutaneous fat or other tissue layers that can influence the area.
Usually chemical fat destruction tends to be less efficient than what’s needed leaving people needing to go through the treatment more than once with multiple rounds of facial swelling and inflammation.
The treatment can however be far more effective than anticipated causing a complete loss of all subcutaneous fat creating a devastating disfigured appearance.
When this treatment was first brought on the market by Alargan the treatment had a 4% incidence of facial nerve paralysis. this is generally temporary but it is still something to take into consideration.
Well done Liposuction by a sufficiently talented and skilled plastic surgeon is simply a better treatment.
In my hands the entire treatment is typically done in about 20 minutes and patients can usually go back to daily activities and look presentable immediately after.
Liposuction can cause bruising and mild swelling but the swelling is typically very mild compared to chemical fat destruction.
The treatment does work though some people require multiple treatments and not all plastic surgeons are good at Liposuction.
That’s with almost all medical and surgical procedures the key is generally finding the most talented and experienced provider.
Find the right plastic surgeon and everything falls into place.
Do you recognize the fat removal regardless of what method is used as a permanent and irreversible procedure.
If the results don’t turn out the way patients had hoped they’ll be reminded on a daily basis for the rest of their life.
It is always worthwhile to have multiple consultations and vet providers thoroughly to find the right one for your needs.
Best,
