What are the side effects of taking Isotretinoin while on acne scar treatment?
Isotretinoin intake while on acne scar treatment is considered generally safe based on the latest research studies published from 2014 onwards. Because acne scarring is associated with substantially reduced quality of life, early initiation of effective treatment is desirable. Ablative CO2 fractional laser treatment for acne scarring seems to be safe regardless of isotretinoin use (10-60 mg/d) [1]. Follow-up was for at least 6 months post-treatment to evaluate side effects. No major and permanent side-effects were seen.
