Can I do a peel like vi peel if I'm taking low dose Accutane? I have melasma and I've had vi peel years ago and it worked great.

Asked By:Maria Styles in New York, NY

I am currently taking 10mg-20mg of accutane every other week to control oil production. I have melasma and I had great results with vipeel years ago. I have done a couple of dermapen treatment but no improvement at all in pigmentation.
