Stop Facials when I Start with Isotretinoin?

Thanks for the question. The guidelines on undergoing facials with isotretinoin are disputed, as different types of facials can involve a variety of products and procedures. Some authorities recommend to stop getting facials altogether during the time period of treatment, and even for a couple of months after the completion of treatment course. There is some relaxation in the other treatment guidelines as not all facials involve the same procedures. Cautious extraction of lesions of acne in the hands of an expert specialist are safer. Avoid doing facials at spas and malls. I would recommend you to consult your doctor, have a personalized evaluation, and discuss your treatment options and complications related to them.I hope this helps.

I definitely discourage facials, peels, microdermabrasion and laser while on isotretinoin. I would say 3 months after your isotretinoin, you're fine to return to facials.
