I am taking accutane and I was wondering if I could still go on with my laser hair removal treatment?

Question

Are there going to be any negative side effects or is it fine if i continue with the treatment and the medicine?

Answer 1

Your skin will be more sensitive. I would not recommend it. You should tell you dermatologist and your laser hair removal doctor(usually a dermatologist, too). I don't know if you are having the laser hair removal done by the same dermatologist who prescribed you the accutane.

Answer 2

your skin is drier than usual taking accutane, you can do the laser hair removal but be religious about using a good moisturizer.
