Considering Fraxel: Will taking a vitamin A supplement carry the same risk as with Accutane?
SRoyarFeb 1, 2014
I have been taking Skin Accumax vitamin supplements. Ingredients are 1333 IU Vitamin A as Retinyl Palmitate, plus Vitamin C, Vitamin E. I am considering Fraxel and wanted to know if taking a vitamin A supplement carries the same risk as Accutane. I contacted the company who makes the supplement and they have said it is fine to have procedure done, since this is a supplement and not delivered the same as a drug. Only contraindications are pregnancy and breast feeding.
