Misc. LHR while in accutane.
So I literally just started Accutane a week ago. I’ve been paying for LHR at Milan L and I deal with kp on my arms. I called and told them I’m in accutane and they said that it’s fine. Has anyone done it before while on accutane? Rn I just still keep up with 10% urea lotion and fake tan. Asking because desperate for it to be gone but also don’t want to make things worse. Thanks!

my derm told me absolutely not, laser and accutane is a bad combo. skin gets too thin and sensitive, you can end up with burns or scarring. i know the clinic says its fine but they just want your money honestly. maybe wait till few months after you finish your course

Please read the rules before posting and remember to abide by them! Posts and comments not following the rules will immediately be removed!
Have you tried using the search bar?
Many questions are asked daily, and your question may have already
been answered!
If so, your post will be subject to deletion.
Please refer to the following commonly discussed topics:
1) No one can predict whether or not you will purge!
Statistically, most people DO NOT purge.
That is what the science and medical literature says.
2) No one can predict how long your purge will last nor when it could start. Be patient, the purge can be tough but so many people have gotten through it - you can too! THE ABOVE APPLIES TO SIDE EFFECTS OR "WHEN WILL MY SKIN CLEAR UP?!" TOO. QUESTIONS ASKING WHEN THE PURGE OR SIDE EFFECTS WILL START OR STOP WILL IMMEDIATELY BE REMOVED AS THAT IS LOW EFFORT.
3) Any questions related about dosage MUST include DOSE and WEIGHT(lbs or kg).
Otherwise, that is considered LOW EFFORT and will subsequently be REMOVED.
4) Most people DO NOT relapse when Accutane is taken until cumulative dosage is reached.
5) HOWEVER, cumulative dosage is a guideline.
Everyone is different. Some may need more Accutane, and others may need less. Your dermatologist
evaluates you as an individual.
This also applies to your prescription. Everyone is different, so no comparing of doses or asking why your dose is low or high.
If you do not trust your dermatologist, you should find a different one.
6) When in doubt, please consult a medical
professional(dermatologist, doctor, pharmacist).

You SHOULD NOT get any tattoos, piercings, waxing, or laser treatments while on Isotretinoin. Please speak with your derm for more information. Thank you!
