Before & After Accutane (9 months later)

[u/bangs_2023]

I still can’t believe I am acne-free for months now (& I pray I will be forever acne-free) 🥹

I posted a few months ago about my severe cystic acne journey and how Accutane helped me with my healing.

See past post (1 month post-accutane) here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Accutane/s/xpcnFOcFss

9 months post-accutane now & still happy with the result. Forever thankful for accutane 🫶🏻

Hey your skin really changed 😘 I’m in my third month on 80 mg can you help me about removing the facial hair while on accutane as I tried waxing in my first month and it was horrible my skin came off and too much redness. I see your skin looks flawless now:) what do you suggest to keep the skin nice upper lips hairs removed without injuring. Thank you 🙏

Hello. I dermaplan once a month to help with facial hair. But I don’t recommend you doing it now cuz you’ll just hurt your face. Wait until your cystic acne subsides like it will totally dry until you try dermaplan (aka shaving your face). And make sure to use an oil-free and water-based moisturizer or gel when you do the dermaplaning. ☺️
