Thank you for your question. A 2017 research has concluded that performing procedures such as laser hair removal, fractional lasers for aging and acne scarring, lasers for pigmented skin lesions, fractional radio-frequency microneedling, superficial and medium-depth peels, microdermabrasion, dermaroller, biopsies, radio-frequency ablation, and superficial excisions is safe in patients with concurrent or recent isotretinoin administration.
Of course, the risk of complications after resurfacing procedures for acne scars vary among individuals and may be different for different skin types, tone and condition.
Besides the dose of isotreitinoin you are on, it is also important to control your acne before you embark on scar treatment for better results.
Do consult a trusted doctor for more information and a review of your skin before proceeding further.
Best regards,
Dr Joanna Chan
