just skip to bold text if u wanna give general answer since my situation is pretty general

ive been on 20mg accutane for a few months now, however i had the acne for months before that and my derma appointment got fucking cancelled so i was left with some scars bc i couldnt get what i NEEDED 2 months earlier even though i have crypto and couldve easily bought it online but im a pussy JFL:lul: :forcedsmile: i was too focused on other looksmaxxes when i shouldve been focused on escaping a potential falio (getting on accutane)

good news is that i have no active acne now, sometimes i have like 1 pimple or whatever and backne so im js trying to eliminate it all before i stop accutane, i plan to finish accutane next month :D

anyways i have a dr pen and have microneedled with it before about a month ago, using 2mm depth for targetting the acne scars (less for other areas bc i only have scarring on some parts of cheeks) however I have seen conflicting info online about whether or not microneedling can cause actual SCARRING to your skin if you are on isotretinoin/accutane, personally for me I didnt see any visible scarring when I did it but obviously im sure people on here have more experience with acne scars and stuff of that matter, so should I keep microneedling at moderate depth (1.5-2mm) while on 20mg accutane? :unsure:

last month at august i started microneedling with a derma pen, 1.5mm

i used tret at the same time, my mom commented on my scars healing and having less spots, i just need 3-4 more sessions, spaced 2-3 weeks

i had no problems and only received benefits
