Does isotretinoin remove acne permanently?
about 2 months ago by lucasmiller
Isotretinoin is highly effective in treating severe acne, often leading to long-lasting results. Many patients experience significant improvement, with up to 80% achieving clear skin after a single course. However, while isotretinoin can drastically reduce acne and prevent future breakouts, it doesn't guarantee permanent removal for everyone. Some individuals may experience a recurrence of acne over time, particularly if their skin was predisposed to acne before treatment. Maintaining a good skincare routine and following up with a dermatologist can help manage any future breakouts. Always discuss potential outcomes and personalized plans with your healthcare provider.
