I have wanted to try Accutane for a year and a half, and finally have a prescription. When I mentioned waxing to my provider's nurse, she said it was okay to wax; however, I've read horror stories online of skin ripping off/scarring. My esthetician said absolutely no lasers and it would be risky to wax. Now that isotretinoin is a reality for me, I'm anxious about giving up my standing appointments to wax my eyebrows, lip, chin, brazilian. Do all patients have to give up waxing, and for how long?
