If youâre currently on Accutane (isotretinoin) and also dealing with acne scars, dry skin, or inflammation, you might be looking into Rejuran as a treatment option. Youâve likely heard about its ability to boost healing, improve skin texture, and support collagen productionâall things your skin could really use during or after an acne journey.
But before you jump into scheduling an appointment, itâs important to ask:
Can you safely get Rejuran while on Accutane?
And even more importantlyâshould you?
At Qazi Cosmetic Center in Orange County, we specialize in acne scar revision and post-acne skin restoration for patients of all skin tones and treatment histories. We work with patients on Accutane every single weekâwhether theyâre in the middle of their course or just finished itâand safety is always our first priority.
In this guide, weâre going to walk you through the risks, benefits, and expert recommendations on Rejuran while on Accutane so you can make an informed decision for your skin and your long-term results.
What Is Rejuran?
Letâs start with the basics. Rejuran is a regenerative injectable treatment made from polynucleotides (PN)âDNA fragments derived from salmon that have powerful healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Itâs sometimes called Rejuran Healer because it supports cell repair, improves skin texture, and strengthens the skin barrier.
Rejuran works best for:
- Post-acne inflammation
- Enlarged pores
- Skin that feels thin, rough, or uneven
- Skin that has been damaged or dried out from past treatments
- Subtle scarring or loss of elasticity
Itâs especially popular in Korea and Singapore as a go-to treatment for sensitive or damaged skin, and weâre seeing more and more patients in the U.S. turn to Rejuran after finishing Accutane.
What Accutane Does to Your Skin
Accutane (isotretinoin) is a systemic medication that changes how your skin behaves. It reduces oil production, shrinks sebaceous glands, and clears out deep, inflammatory acneâbut it also comes with side effects.
While on Accutane, your skin may:
- Become dry or flaky
- Feel tight or sensitive
- Heal more slowly
- React more strongly to trauma or irritation
This is why many in-office treatmentsâlike lasers, microneedling, or deep peelsâare typically postponed until after Accutane is completed. The skin simply isnât stable enough to handle injury while on isotretinoin.
So, Can You Get Rejuran While on Accutane?
Technically? It depends. Practically? Itâs usually better to wait.
Rejuran isnât a laser or a peelâitâs a gentle injectable that doesnât resurface or damage the skin. But even though itâs not aggressive, itâs still a medical procedure that involves microinjections. And anytime you break the skinâs surface while on Accutane, thereâs a slightly increased risk of irritation, inflammation, or delayed healing.
At Qazi Cosmetic Center, we generally recommend waiting until at least 4â6 weeks after finishing Accutane before starting Rejuran. This gives your skin time to normalize and ensures that you get the full benefit of the treatment without unnecessary risks.
However, every patient is differentâand in some lower-dose or short-duration cases, we may be able to adjust the timeline based on your skin's condition and response.
What to Expect If You Start Rejuran After Accutane
Once your skin has stabilized post-Accutane, Rejuran can be an excellent way to rebuild skin quality and barrier health. Many of our patients start Rejuran treatments to address the long-term effects of Accutane, like dryness, inflammation, or textural issues.
Here's what Rejuran can do after Accutane:
- Rebuild moisture barrier damaged by months of dryness
- Reduce residual redness or irritation
- Soften mild scarring or texture changes
- Boost healing and collagen remodeling
- Improve pore size and elasticity
Rejuran is especially effective when paired with a customized routine of hydrating serums, barrier creams, and SPFâall of which we tailor to your skin at Qazi Cosmetic Center.
How to Know When Youâre Ready for Rejuran
Weâll help you determine the best time to start during your consultation, but here are some general signs that your skin may be ready:
- Youâve been off Accutane for at least 1 month (more if your dose was high)
- Your skin no longer feels tight, flaky, or irritated
- You're able to tolerate sunscreen and moisturizers without stinging
- Youâre not dealing with any open breakouts or wounds
- Youâve talked to your dermatologist and cleared treatment plans
