The answer is: Yes. It is safe to do lasers while on Accutane.
The latest research published in February 2018 concluded that "a 6-month delay is not necessary for all procedures".
A US research study published in Dec 2017 proved the safety of non-ablative fractional laser 1 month after stopping Isotretinoin - "All patients demonstrated normal wound healing post NAFL treatments, and neither hypertrophic scars nor keloids were observed. Acne scar improvement was satisfactory."
This latest research supersedes the older guidelines of waiting 6 months post-accutane for Laser procedure.
This is a Game-changer because there is no longer a need to delay Acne scar Laser treatments.
Early treatments will give better final results.
Hope that this helps!
