Can I get MiraDry done while on Accutane?

Question

I had the MiraDry procedure done in February 2019 and I'm starting to see some sweat come back. I would like to have the procedure performed again this May as it will be my 3 month mark to get the treatment again. I just finished my first month of Accutane and have several months to go. Is it ok to get the MiraDry procedure done again?

Hello and thank you for your question. During treatment with Accutane, your risk for scarring increases. I recommend avoiding any elective aesthetic or surgical procedures for at least 6 months after you've completed Accutane. There are topical medications that are effective for underarm sweating treatment that you may want to consider during Accutane treatment. I also recommend a consultation by a board certified dermatologist for evaluation of your acne and excessive sweating, and discussion of appropriate treatment. Best of luck.
