Can Pico laser be performed while on accutane?

Question

I just started my accutane for my chest and back acne a couple weeks ago and I would like to know if I can do Pico laser on my back and chest to speed up the scar removal while im on accutane (10mg/day)?

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

Most healthcare providers recommend waiting at least six months after finishing Accutane treatment before undergoing laser procedures. Accutane can cause delayed wound healing and heightened photosensitivity in some individuals, potentially resulting in poor scarring. Allowing six months enables the medication to be fully cleared from your system, thus reducing the likelihood of adverse reactions.
