Is it fine to start Accutane (10 Mg) after having one micro-needling 2 months earlier ?

Question

No Accutane used prior to microneedling session, but is it possible to start it after it ?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Yes, it is generally safe to start Accutane (Isotretinoin) treatment after having a microneedling session, provided that there has been a sufficient healing period. Microneedling is a procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles to induce collagen production and improve the skin's appearance. It is important to allow the skin to fully heal after this procedure before starting a medication like Accutane, which can increase skin sensitivity and potentially cause irritation.
That being said, a gap of 2 months between the microneedling session and starting Accutane is typically considered ample time for skin recovery. However, it is crucial that the patient consult their dermatologist before starting Accutane to ensure it is appropriate for their specific skin condition and overall health.
Please note that Accutane is a powerful medication used to treat severe, resistant acne and carries a risk of serious side effects. It should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional who can monitor the patient's health during treatment.
