Can Accutane reduce future fertility for women?
Accutane half life
Nov 25, 2019
Isotretinoin (Accutane) does not affect fertility. It is a teratogen- meaning that if you get pregnant while taking Accutane it will cause you baby to have birth defects.
Isotretinoin (Accutane) has a half life of 10–20 hours. That means that half of the medication is out of your system in 20 hours. Isotretinoin is completely cleared from the body within 1 month after the drug is stopped.

So if you wait 1 month after stopping the medication, it will no longer be in your s…

I would recommend a combination treatment of fractionated non-ablative laser and an IPL.
We package this treatment as a bundle called THREE for me. You typically need three sessions.
Laser vs. dermabrasion vs. chemical peel, what is best to treat my acne scars?
Acne Scars

The scar tissue extends down below the first layer of the skin so you should do a treatment that addresses that depth.
I recommend micro needling sessions alternated with fractionated non-ablative laser.

I think that you would need six sessions of each .

How many lasers do you think I need to get rid of these scars?
Scar treatment

I agree with the answers above:
Micro- needling in combination with ablative laser- we use Erbium YAG- less down-time than CO2 with same results.
We alternate between the 2 meaning
week 1- Erbium YAG
week 2- Micro-needling
week 4- Erbium YAG
week 6- Micro-needling
week 8- Erbium YAG
week 10- Micro-needling
week 12- Erbium YAG
week 14- Micro-needling
week 15- Erbium YAG
week 16- Micro-needling
If I got really bad acne from the Skyla IUD, is it possible I would get the same reaction from the
levonorgestrel related acne
Feb 26, 2019
The answer is probably YES. Estrogen helps acne because is increases levels of hormone binding protein. The hormone binding protein binds testosterone and other androgens. Less androgensmeans Less ACNE. Is you can’t used estrogen based birth control, may want to consider another option for birth control. Birth control for Acne
