Asked By:jim1980 in Greece, GR

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.....!
