Low dose accutane for 8 weeks and stopped done microneedling for scars is any risk in this procedure thanks

Aurora DeJuliis, MD · Answer

It is not recommended doing microneedling while on Accutane simply because of increased risks of scarring. You should wait at least 6 months before considering any procedure on your face.

The very latest consensus on Accuatane and energy based devices is that it is safe. Released in JAMA on 28th June 2017, prior Dermatology Surgery paper as well. These are NOT case reports but recommended guidelines. In fact fractional lasers and energy based devices such as RF etc. safe. Papers are in the web reference below. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane.
