Can I take Accutane after FUE hair transplant? 1 month post op.

jim1980Oct 4, 2017
Hi, i had fue hair tramsplant a month ago, it all went well but i have a question regarding accutane. I suffer from cystic acne all my life , i’m 37 now, and had accutane 6 years ago with great success. Was totally clear for a few years but then it came back. No treatment has worked yet and my dermatologist wants to put me on a very low dose of accutane. Is it gonna hurt my new follicles though, or my hair in gemeral? My fue surgeon didnt really know about the drug.....!

These results look good to me. If you want more fullness, you can have another transplant or just Scalp Micropigmentation which will make it look much fuller for less cost
