I am on isotretinoin and am wondering what type of hair removal would be best for me?

Your best option would be shaving as anything trauamtic to the skin like threading, waxing and laser could scar the skin permanently.

Thank you for your question. You are correct that waxing would be harmful to your skin while on isotretinoin therapy and even up to 6 months after stopping the medication. Isotretinoin increases your chances of scarring if your skin incurs any type of trauma or injury such as tattoos, piercings, cosmetic procedures such as dermabrasion or chemical peels, laser treatments, waxing or surgeries. Shaving, threading, and Nair lotions are safe alternatives; however, since you had a negative reaction to threading, I would advise against threading. If you have any further questions, please consult with your dermatologist. Good luck.
