22F Low dose Accutane for rosacea. Will the acne come back after completion of the course?

surfsuncali
My dermatologist recently suggested Accutane for my rosacea (flushing and lesions). I can't take antibiotics, they give me significant GI issues. Have tried topicals. My question is whether the acne will come back after I stop the Accutane. She suggested a very low dose for a year, and I know that the overall dose that is given is most important in terms of whether acne comes back. My acne is not that severe, but unfortunately it is getting worse slowly and I don't have many other options.
