I have taken accutane for two days now and I want to have some cosmetic tatooing on my eyebrows and lower eye liner, is that OK? Also, I talked to a doctor about having collagen injections done on my cheeks where I have some acne (pock marks) scarrinig. I know collagen is temporary, but I want to do it while I am taking the accutane is that OK?
Also, does accutane affect the outcome of sclerotherapy (spider vein injections on legs)?
I would like to have these procedures done next week and I wonder if I should hold off on the accutane a few weeks till I do
Hi Daisy.
Accutane can stop skin from healing properly. You must not have cosmetic procedures such as laser therapy or tattooing whilst on Accutane and for 6 months afterwards. This is because of the increased risk of scarring.
