Posted under Accutane q&a

Can I have laser hair removal done if I have just started low dose Accutane?

z2k
I have just started with low dose Accutane (10mg/ day) 2 weeks ago. I haven't experienced many side effects as yet, except some flaking on my upper lip and exacerbation of my acne. The laser clinic that I go to said it would be safe to have laser hair removal done on my face while on a low dose which I only started recently. However, I'm still unsure and would like to know if it is safe and what are the risks of scarring?
