Im am coming up on exactly six months post accutane. I was wondering if it would be safe and effective to start beam treatments for overall post facial redness now.

All of these lasers can rejuvenate the skin. The V-Beam is the gold standard for redness. If you are concerned with pigmentation you might prefer the Fraxel or Clear & Brilliant. Please consult a board certified dermatologist with experience with lasers for the best cosmetic results
Blistering is not a normal reaction for the Vbeam, I suggest seeing hour board certified dermatologist for wound care at this point. Best, Dr. Emer.
No reason to stop before, but stop for 3-4 days after as your skin can be sensitive or swollen after V BEAM, once this settles, start using the BPO again. All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist, BRISBANE, Australia.
