TREATMENT
Accutane for Acne
Isotretinoin, commonly known by the trade name Accutane for acne, is a highly effective medication for treating severe acne that hasn’t responded to other treatments. Typically, a four to five-month course of Accutane results in significant acne clearance. It is particularly useful for severe, scarring acne or persistent acne that hasn’t fully responded to antibiotics and topical treatments. Due to its potent nature and potential side effects, Accutane must be prescribed and supervised by one of our specialist doctors.
How does Accutane for Acne work?
Accutane works by reducing the amount of oil released by oil glands in your skin, helping your skin renew itself more quickly. This leads to a reduction in acne and prevention of new acne formation, significantly improving skin condition.
What to expect during Accutane for Acne?
During the course of Accutane treatment, patients typically take the medication daily for 4-5 months. Regular follow-ups with a dermatologist are necessary to monitor progress and manage any side effects. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and adhere to medical advice throughout the treatment.
What are the results and benefits of Accutane?
Accutane offers dramatic improvement in severe acne, often leading to long-term remission. It helps in preventing acne scars, reduces inflammation, and promotes clearer, healthier skin. Many patients experience significant acne reduction that lasts long after completing the treatment.
