Is it safe use Accent Radiofrequency while I'm on a very low dose of accutane (5mg/daily) for hyperseborrhea?

Question

Bhupendra C.K. Patel, MD, FRCS · Answer

As Accent treatments are radio frequency treatments with no ablation of the skin and no need for regeneration of skin epidermis from sebaceous units, it is perfectly safe to have the Accent treatments whilst you are on such a low-dose accutane treatment regiment. Sincerely,Prof. BCK Patel MD, FRCS

Marilyn Pelias, MD · Answer

I respect Prof. Patel's answer, but I would be hesitant to use RF on someone who is on Accutane.  In theory, there is no need for the sebaceous glands to be functioning for RF, but it would be out of my comfort zone.  I have seen a couple of burns after RF when performed by an inexperienced provider.
