I have just started Accutane treatment. Do I need to cancel my laser appointment?

Yes, it is recommended to cancel your laser appointment if you have recently started taking Accutane. Accutane makes your skin very sensitive to irritants, including chemicals (such as scented hygiene products) and sunlight. The laser treatment may damage your skin or make it more susceptible to reactions while taking Accutane. It is best to wait several months after finishing your Accutane treatment before undergoing laser treatments.
