Is it okay to get a dermaroller treatment in the second week of May after taking isotroin 20 mg for just three days at the end of April (28th to 30th)? I've heard you shouldn't get treatments right after accutane, but isn't that advice mostly for those who complete a full course? Would those 60 mg in total affect skin healing?
