Does accutane help with acne scars?

Can you tan if your on accutane?
 
Use tretinoin creme it will renew your skin. It works better for scars then accutane

Im on accutane rn (Day 5) so Im gonna take that for 3 months, my last doctor also prescribed me some tret so I have 2 big tubes at home.
After 3 months If they are still there Im going to do chemical peeling at a skin clinic

Can't speak much on this, but from my personal experience, it helped but did not get rid of them entirely.

Technically you can but I'd recommend against such prolonged exposure to the sun whilst you're taking it.

No it only helps with acne, that's why ı don't use it.

Takes years of dedication and even than it won't be enough to get rid of scars, it will just soften it.

I have scars myself and will get dermapen or CO2 laser.
Not any chemical peeling?

accutane doesn't work on scarring + you didn't specify what type of scarring you have, is it something as light as PIH or PIE (same thing but it depends on your skin colour and tone) or is it depressed acne scars which is the worst type of scarring,
but regardles of what you have if it's PIE or PIH use vitamin c azalic acid niacinamide and tret , and if it's the depressed scarring the only thing that well work is tret but don't expect much you better off get Co2 laser treatments instead and save your self sometime but still the tret well work and well be faster and faster if you up the dosage

use ablative erbium instead of co2. the same results for much less downtime

alright bro thanks for letting me now, what are your thoughts on dermapen?
its okay. not as effective as laser, but it all depends on how the procedure is performed and by who

Tretinoin creme and isotretinoin pills are not the same thing
it literally is its just a different form of practically the same medication, its like you said oral and topical minox work differently
