hey, I feel you on that. I just got off accutane 3 weeks ago and my scars really get me down. Some use retin-a to get rid of scarring shortly after accutane, however my derm didn't want to perscribe me anything. I'm going to wait the 6 months and then get subsicion and fraxel done on my rolling scars and tca cross for my box scars.

How does Retin-A get rid of scarring? Why didn't your derm perscribed it?

retin a increases collagen production which can make some scarring less visible, it also gets rid of wrinkles. some derms don't like prescribing it after accutane because they feel it is too irritating to start something like retin a when your skin is still sensitive from the accutane.

Can I have laser treatments shortly after a Retin-A course?

im 17 and ive been on accutane for 6 months and i have just had a month after i stopped taking it, so its out of my system now, i have no more spots but i have quite a few red marks on my cheeks

i am using simple soap and simple moisturizer and some sensitive suncream 50+ when im in the sun but im confused as its still quite red and my derm said i dont have any scarring, its my 18th birthday in about a month and i really want it to be gone by then but i dont no what to do? any suggestions on diet, skin routine or red mark experiences

WOULD BE SO APPRECIATED\\|!!!
