Considering CO2 Fractional Laser while on 10mg/day Isotretinoin; proceed with same dosage, lowered dosage, or discontinue first?

Asked By:eeper30 in Philippines, PH

I am almost done with my second month on a 10mg/day isotretinoin. So far, my acne cleared up to 80-90% with 2-3 eruptions every now and then. Upon consultation, they said I stop isotret immediately, then have a session of CO2 Laser after 2 weeks. I stay off isotret for another week, then go back to 10mg/day for a week. Then restart the cycle - stop for 2 weeks, 1 session CO2 Laser, 1 week off, then 1 week on. I do this after 3 sessions of CO2 Fractional Laser. Thoughts? What happens after?
