Microneedling while on accutane?

[Dilly03]

Been on 30mg daily for about 3.5 months and getting bumped up to 40mg daily next refill. Thoughts on microneedling while on accutane? I am wanting to correct my skin texture and boost the different collagen types that accutane does not improve.

I would advise against it, if you do it then only once a week. Generally you shouldnt have any cosmetic treatments while taking Accutane and for a few weeks afterward, such as laser treatments or waxing, because these can cause scarring and skin damage. Accutane also prolongs the time your body needs to heal wounds. This could potentially affect your microneedling treatment as well.

Thanks for the input, I feared that was the case but I may as well wait till treatment is over so I do not cause any damage or scarring.
