I am a 38 year old female who is on accutane for 5 months already. I noticed that my pores are getting larger and larger compared to before taking accutane. People can totally see my pores from a distance and it has not happen before. I even notice people staring frequently at my nose especially under certain lighting. Should I stop the accutane? I had mild acne but was prescribed 25mg accutane.
Hi! I took 40mg of Accutane for 1 month before deciding to discountinue treatment. I wasnt having any major side effects however after further research I decided it wasnt a medication I wanted to be on. Id like to do microneedling. How long do I need to wait after stopping this medication. Can I wait less than 6 months since I only took Accutane for 1 month? Ive been told conflicting opinions on waiting 2 months and others saying 6 months. Thanks!
I have been to a Med-aesthetics Clinic and advised to do skin needling for acne scars My dermatologist hasn't told me to do something about scaring yet because I have done my 2 years on isotretinoin 10mg but he gave me a three month extension just for the sake of exams (just because of stress etc which might trigger something). I haven't had any active acne on my chest for about a year now and I would like to know if it is ok to proceed with skin needling while at the end of isotretinoin (10mg)
Hi, I have bad scars and discoloration left from acne. I understand many doctors are skeptical about performing microneedling on patients on Accutane, but I understand from reading medical journals that it is safe. However, I still want to take precautions and choose an appropriate needle length since to my understanding, Accutane thins the skin. I wanted to ask, what depth do you recommend? I was thinking 1.5 mm? I did tons of research; I also hoping to do some subcision too. I'm on 40 mg daily.
I have done the micro needling + PRP 4 days ago, but still suffering from redness. I wish I had viewed this website before I did the treatment because I just stopped taking Roaccutane 5 months ago!! the clinic didn't inform me of this risk before the treatment!! Is there any way (treatment/medicine) that can help the healing process for my skin?? Thank you so much for your help!!
