   I’ve been on accutane for 7 weeks now, and after my first monthly checkup, my doctor recommended a microdermabrasion. I was confused because it said you shouldn’t have any cosmetic procedures done while you’re on accutane, but she said it doesn’t matter. I trust her. I would get a chemical face peel every two weeks / one months before, and I think those are much better for getting rid of scars. Microdermabrasions are more for when your skin doesn’t have an even texture. You can go already, if you want! Although.. when I started going to this spa, I had to fill out a bunch of papers asking about any other medicine I was on and accutane, which I wasn’t using then. I think it’s about six months if they won’t let you, but my family doctor is also a dermatologist and she said she could perform it on me. This is getting lengthy.

   ooo, hun I used Accutane also, and I have been told by doctors to wait at least 6 months to a year.. However long you were on Accutane, is how long you should wait… And you definitely want to wait… It will cause scars if you don’t.. I had my tattoo removed 6 months after being on Accutane.. and it caused scars… SO WAIT!!!! LOL
