during accutane

by 1daisy1, Jun 12, 2009 02:17AM
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

Thank you!

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.
