Can I go on Accutane after TRL contouring laser on my face?

Question

I had Contour TRL resurfacing on my face 4 weeks ago. Is it ok for me to go on accutane now? Thank you.

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

It's generally recommended to wait at least 6 months after undergoing a laser resurfacing procedure like Contour TRL before starting Accutane (isotretinoin).

Accutane can significantly affect the skin's healing process and increase the risk of scarring and other complications. It's essential to consult with your dermatologist to evaluate your specific situation and determine the best timing for starting Accutane based on your individual healing progress and skin condition.
