It is not safe to do epidermal leveling while you are on Accutane or for 6 months after completing your medication.
Your skin is very different while on Accutane and you must not do any cosmetic procedures while you are on it or for 6 months after completion. In addition you should not do any waxing piercing or tattooing during this time period.
