Hmmmm.... I have been impressed by this doctor, but this comment kinda blows my mind in the sense that it flies in the face of conventional wisdom. Accutane before and after laser? That is exactly what they tell you NOT to do. Everyone knows that you need to be off Accutane for at least 6 months to a year, so to recommend it before and after is a little mind boggling.

Its only 1 week tho, its done in order to reduce oil so that skin can heal correctly and prevent this orange peel scarring which is when skin gets very oily and fraxel "dots" cant heal properly because of that.
