Abstract
Based on reports of poor wound healing and scarring, it is currently recommended that patients wait 6 months after completion of oral isotretinoin therapy before the safe initiation of laser treatment. Our aim was to evaluate the safety of non‐ablative fractional laser (NAFL) treatment for acne scars within 1 month after isotretinoin therapy.
