Is it safe to have Dermalinfusion Silkpeel while on Accutane?

Hi, unfortunately Accutane is a very aggressive medication that shut down your entire body's oil production. This can make the skin incredibly sensitive as it damages the skin's barrier. We do not recommend doing any type of chemical or aggressive physical exfoliation while using this medication.

The Diamond Glow/ Silk peels use both chemical and physical forms of exfoliation. Ideally it is best to avoid receiving this treatment while using Accutane.

It is recommended to wait at least 6 months post the discontinuation of this medication.

Thank you for your question! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for your question. I would first of all get clearance from your Dermatologist before introducing anything new to your skin while on Accutane. The next thing I would do is let your provider know that you are on medication. If they are skilled they will take extreme caution while treating your skin. Make sure they are well aware of the risks involved and only use hydrating serums and a very very soft tip.ThanksBest of LuckAnil Shah MD

I would recommend waiting until 6 months after your accutane treatment is complete to move forward with any other skin treatments. Depending on accutane dosage, you may be safe to move forward, but this skin is incredibly sensitive during the course. Waiting until 6 months after the treatment is over is a very conservative/safe answer. 

Hello,Good question. Yes, it is safe to get a silkpeel treatment while being on accutane.

This is a great question.  You should wait 6 months after finishing your therapy with Accutane to have a treatment with Dermalinfusion.  Accutane will make the skin too sensitive for this physical dermabrasion and the treatment could be very irritating.  Best of luck.
