Accutane impact on hair – is it a serious matter? I have just come from consultation with my doctor and we have decided to start with the accutane therapy. I have heard that it can make your hair dry and I am a bit worried for mine, since the therapy will last for at least several months. I also plan to straighten my hair.
In general, Accutane should not have any serious effect on the hair. Patients who have used it had very little hair loss, if at all, and many did not experience any trouble at all. As for hair process, I recommend that you take it either before or to wait several months after the therapy. This is because accutane obstructs the healing process on in the superficial skin region. Still, check this with your doctor.
