Hey guys, just a quick question. I'm travelling to south korea for a holiday. I called my usual dermatologist there and asked him if i could get any treatment for my scars over there and get my freckles removed and he said yes.

I know on the forums everyone says not to get any treatment done.

So can anyone let me know if they have had any treatment done on their scars whilst on accutane.

Cheers

Why do you want freckles removed? And everyone is told not to get treatment done while on accutane because accutane impairs the skin's healing ability and you could end up with some even worse scarring from the treatment. 6 months after accutane you can get peels and dermabrasian done but you are supposed to wait a year before having any sort of laser treatment done.

Bad idea- usually treatments like that shouldn't be started till 1 month post treatment. Your skin will be really irritated and you will do more harm than good.

After 6 months you can get some fillers but other than that nothing till 1 year.
