Safety of non‐ablative fractional laser for acne scars within 1 month after treatment with oral isotretinoin: A randomized split‐face controlled trial

Abstract

NAFL treatment for acne scarring appears to be well tolerated within 1 month of completing isotretinoin treatment. Dermatologists should reevaluate the current recommendation to wait 6 months after isotretinoin treatment for acne scar revision with lasers. Other larger studies are necessary to further challenge this dogma. Lasers Surg. Med. 49:886-890, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
