How do you feel about Tazarotene, have you considered accutane

If taz isn’t cutting it time move onto the medspa

idk it worked until a certain point but way better than tret, i was on tret for a yr and got to max dose and didn't work. considering accutane but im on reta rn which isnt good to mix w accutane and im not tryna stop drinking i need the low inhib

what like facials and laser shit?

what like facials and laser shit?

Assuming you’re talking about skin quality and not acne yes

Botox, peels, laser resurfacing

Also depending on age and bones / soft tissue that could be a contributing factor too

Like undereyes for example if they lack bone and fat no amount of skincare is gonna save that skin

Ah okay well time to go down the accutane rabbit hole then

Also do an audit of your baseline health and lifestyle ofc

Ive currently been on tret for around 2 months and my skin has gotten worse (could be purge) how did you get tazarotene?

Bro if you’ve tried taz AND accutane and it wasn’t enough I’m truly sorry

when i went on tret my skin got worse and stayed worse. my derm genuinely got me up to the max dose before reccomending tazarotene, probably she gets paid more to put people on tret? i dont think purging should be that long but i could be wrong. if u have a derm id just wait it out a little (which sucks fs) and ask about tazarotene if it seems like tret isnt working they should have it

thx man I'd give tret another month or 2 and if there's no improvement. I'd most likely get on accutane
