I wanted to know if it's ok to get collagen injections right after accutane. I've only been off about 2 months and my scarring seems to be mainly fat loss-rolling scars and depressions still red. The bad thing is my two scars appear to have been from some cystic acne that developed on accutane and made sure that these scarred me up....Is it ok to have collagen injections before the 6 month waiting period. I want something to tide me over for the summer so I can go outside without feeling miserable by my appearance. I'm planning on fraxel once the 6 months is up. Will collagen injections impede the body's natural collagen replenishment process? Thanks for the help!!

I think you mean hyaluronic acid type fillers like Restylane or Juvederm. Collagen injections are not even made anymore.

But yes, it's safe. The only type of things you should avoid are resurfacing procedures or anything that creates a wound.
