What Happens After I Finish Accutane Treatment ?

Kilometers
I will be finishing a 6 month treatment in a few days and will see my derm a few days after. A few months ago he mentioned we'd discuss maintenance once I finished. I'm pretty clear but have red scars ( I think the previous active acne was hiding scars) from occasional breakouts while taking it. Online searches said topical retinoids are commonly used. I used Retin-A-Miro prior to accutane with no results. Generally speaking, what's the next step after I finish?
