- Accutane can be helpful in eliminating persistent breakouts if you deal with deep, nodular acne. But who else is it good for? And when you should start seriously considering this acne treatment? We visited Soheil Simzar, MD at Ava MD in Santa Monica, CA, who broke down who Accutane is best for, what to expect, how to prep for this medication, and what side effects you may experience during your treatment.

This drug changed my life. So thankful I finally did it.
hows your skin now?
Same thing for me. Glad I took that next step and went on it. Been a huge life changer.
when did you take accutane.. I am afraid that I would relapse..
@@ankitaahuja111 I took accutane when I was 15. I'm 18 now.
Ca accutane helps also the scars and darkspot?? Please reply
I went on accutane 6 years ago. I wasn't the best candidate because I didn't really have severe/cystic acne, but what I did have were horrible break outs that never went away and ruined my confidence. I went on accutane and had horrible peeling skin, chapped/cracked lips, and occasional nosebleeds but after that my skin was PERFECT. And since it shuts down your oil glands, I didn't ever have to wash my hair. The birth control requirement is annoying but honestly it changed my life!
so overall, are u recommend to other?
Wait what birth control is a requirement?! Or what?
@@niaster9482 Yes, birth control is a requirement on accutane because accutane can cause severe birth defects.
@@KGO80313 nothing is working for my acne and o get cystic acne on my nose and it makes me depressed. I’ve been avoiding going on accutane because of all the side effects and supposedly the long term ones.. I just want clear skin :( it’s been 7 years since you took it. Have you noticed any health issues ? Please be honest ..
How is it now?
Ive been on Accutane for 2 months. Lips are seriously dry and get sunburnt very easily. skin is definitely improving but it does come at a cost. It will be worth it though
Hi I assume you are done with your treatment course. what are your results? Did it work?
+Jenan Samannaz I was on Accutane for 10 months which was longer than I expected but it did work. my skin is clear and there's no sign of acne returning. if you are thinking of starting treatment i would recommend it but be prepared for dry skin and really dry lips for the duration. Alcohol should be avoided 100%
Dessienewshoes Thank you! Glad it worked out for you :)
+Dessienewshoes is This treatment costly ?? plz tell
+UmAir Azz All in it cost about 1700 Euro. thats for tablets, blood tests and consultation fees over 10 months.
the side effects of this were insane. but i guess kinda worth it. still have some pimples but defiantly a lot less.
This was a quick and useful read. I`m promoting this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to my friend who`ll begin their acne treatments to accomplish a clearer skin. Very much liked this and appreciated the awareness into how my inside troubles can affect my skin. .
I went on accutane for moderate acne and it was the absolute right decision for me. The only regimen that previously worked at all was a combination of 4 prescriptions that would only keep my acne at bay, not effectively treat it. If a pharmacy was out and I missed a single day of one, I would breakout the next day. I didn’t want to be a slave to all of these prescriptions anymore and just get rid of it once and for all. It was the best thing I could do for my skin and I would do it all over again.
A few weeks in with accutane. It is amazing. My lips and skin is dry as hell, but well worth it.
I had persistent acne (not nodular though) for around 5 years that wasn't affected by anything, went on accutane almost a year ago now, been off for around 6 months and haven't had a pimple since!! Best decision of my life.
hows your skin now?
About a year ago I was so desperate for help with my acne. I tried it ALL & then some. I was on accutane for 6 months. My scalp & my skin was super dry all the time! My lips would be chapped all day everyday. I carried lotions. Moisturizers & chopsticks like no other. I could barely wear makeup. My skin was beyond sensitive to sunlight & I would sunburn in 10 min if that. My experience was torture. BUT I LOVE my skin now. It was so worth it! I would tell you to do it if your Dr thinks your the right candidate.
Honestly, it was in my last couple of weeks that I really saw how great my skin became!
What was your dosage? And how is your skin nowadays?
+Christianartist32 I've been off accutane for almost 3 yrs and honestly it was the best decision I ever made. My skin is clear! When I get a zit it's a random one, disappears quick, & they aren't painful. I'll get a tiny little whitehead instead of a pimple which is amazing! I'm obviously left with the scarring and my skin produces oil again so I get black heads which is expected as we can't expect magic from this pill. My dr. Moved me up dosage every month and the last month of treatment when I saw results I was at the highest dosage possible which I can't even remember what it was. I was on for 6 months. Hope this helps.
+sonia valencia Thank you! I'm almost done with my 3rd month, woohoo! lol, great to hear it has worked out for you!
+Christianartist32 best of luck! Do not get discouraged it will be worth it!
Sun sensitivity was something I never faced when I was on roaccutane. And I was on during the summer. I Must of just been lucky to be honest
My daughter is the same. She’s on the swim team and I was very worried she’d be photosensitive. She seemed to not have that side effect, though
I had severe headaches on Accutane but overall very happy with Accutane in my early 20's for nodular cystic acne.
PLEASE don't take accutane!!!!( I took only 20 mg but even low dose was bad)
I am very grateful I became aware early of the side effects in my second round of accutane which was 1 year after the first round. In the first round I took accutane for 5 months on low dose for mild/ moderate acne. It drys your body organs and has caused me mild Fatty Liver Disease(which I caught on early), irregular periods, a fibroadenoma which I have mistaken for malignancy and caused huge pain and anxiety for months.
Alternative: Get an estrogen test and your doctor will prescribe supplements to balance your hormone levels, which in turn will clear up your face even better than accutane. I WISH I had known all of this earlier😭
Thank you for all that information. I've heard about the drug before and didn't know much. I'd love to see more vids like this in the future of a dermatologist knowledge of things that are good an bad for the skin. Maybe even in age ranges!
I love how while he is listing serious side effects like liver damage and birth defects casually with upbeat music playing in the background like it's no biggie
thanks for the advice, I'm about to start my accutane journey. Kinda nervous because I'm an athlete. Probably going to make a video of the transformation!!!
hows it going?
Any update bro? It’s been 6 months
Update
Guys, I'm so glad to hear about your experiences with Accutane. Right now, I'm on an antibiotic with a blood pressure medication, which is supposed to help, but my derma told me that if my breakout don't stop, she suggests Accutane! Crazy right? And I don't have cystic acne.
Who else is dealing with acne and is getting/has gone on Accutane?
Me I don’t have cystic acne mines is barely any but their consistent so that’s why I’m getting on
"We don't know how it works but it works effectively". Typical pharma for you.
This is such a silly take. We don't know how a LOT of things in the human body work! Isotretinoin works by altering DNA transcription. This effect decreases the size and the output of the sebaceous glands. The doctor here just meant that it isn't fully understood what mechanism causes isotretinoin to alter transcription.
You’re so dumb. If it works, and they tell you what’s in it and what it does, why does it matter?
I have acne and I’m not sure if I need accutane for it. My acne is not bad but it still won’t go away.
Oh and BTW, it caused moods swings in me so I had to lower the dosage immediately.
Accutane will change your life - I did a video about my experience with it and honestly I would recommend it, it is the only thing that will produce real results :)
this was helpful! i started my treatment around 2 months ago :)
How's it so far? Do you breaking out?
how are you now?
Hi Kirbie :)
I took accutane for six months and did not work because it turns out I have food allergies that were causing acne and very large cystic acne all over my face :( Now that I know what foods not eat, my skin has transformed and I could not be happier! I wish my Dr. would have suggested blood tests for food allergies first.
Good luck!
Thank you for posting this! After trying doxycycline, aczone, tons of obagi products AND natural remedies, I've finally determined that I need Accutane. I'm pretty nervous about it, but I'm more excited than nervous. This helped to put me at ease and I really appreciate it!
GoNoles! how was it ? is your skin better?
Accutane is a great medication to treat acne and give people back their life and confidence but there are major side effects that need to be considered. It is not only recommended you should not get pregnant. In fact you cannot get pregnant and have to be on 2 forms of birth control while on the medication and get pregnancy tests monthly. If you get pregnant on the medication you will absolutely have birth defects.
the guy in the video said that it isn't linked to mood disorders.
Great video.
Immediate and realistic method on the way to take away the factors that cause acne are mentioned in this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* I have suffered acne issues for quite a while now and I am ecstatic to give the suggestions in this guide a go. I would certainly suggest this guide to my buddies. .
I am in my second month of taking accutane and I am already noticing improvement, but also lots of the side effects. I only recommend this drug if you have tried everything else and if you have discussed it thoroughly with your dermatologist. It is a miracle product, but it should not be taken lightly. Mood disorders and psychosis were on the official side effect list but only effect a very small percent. Other side effects not mentioned here were also on the list, so try to find more info.
Look into the hair loss.
I’m worried about all the side effects, will my skin moisture and cholesterol go back to normal after I’m done my treatment?
Can a family doctor prescribe Accutane in Canada? they prescribe the accutane directly or we have to wait for test results before getting the pills?
They will have you take a psychological test to see whether or not you are a candidate or not. He said it wasn't linked, but if you do suffer from depression, they want to be sure it won't make it worse. I am sorry that you are dealing with this, but hopefully this helps explain a bit.
Thanks for information
Excellent acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to have short, sweet and also to the point about what foods to prevent and boost consumption for better skin, eliminating acne. Everything is sensible. I can guarantee that this is a beneficial guide. Very informative and a good help to remove acne.
Today is my second day using roaccutane :) Hope my skin recovers 🥺✨
I‘m on my 2nd week and had a headache for 2 days straight and muscle pain, I also feel pain in my chest but so far so good
Did it work??
Starting accutane tomorrow can’t wait but I’m a little nervous how can I cope with some of the side effects, I am very pale so I’m gonna need some good sunblock
This acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* was very informative and helpful. I often go through gentle adult acne and this guide discusses all the possible solutions for mild to severe acne whether natural procedures or otherwise. I prefer the natural way of treating them and I found out on this guide the treatments that work efficiently.
I'm on day 7 now, so one week into accutane. My dermatologist descriped me a low dosage (10mg) because I'm 1.64 cm and my weight is 45kg, so yes I'm very petite and skinny tho. Nothing really happend in week one. My acne now is not that bad, it seems to heal but I'm not sure. The dryness isn't coming yet, but I have a bit of join pain. I'm so excited to finally have clear skin.😁
How did it end up?
@@renrmz I'm not finished.
@@sofiaclark7121 how is it now
Hi, How is your skin going?
@@FB-im7zb No acne
I NEEEEEEEEEEED IT!!! ;(
Is accutane make uterus dry or no please need answer
Has anyone here who took Accutane for rosacea? Did it work?
my brother went on it, and he is a prone to mood imbalances and while he was on accutane he was way worse and much more depressed, i dont think you should unless you're able to live with your depression possibly getting worse. I mean I wanted to go on it too but he told me it wasnt worth it and strongly advised me against it
My 14 y.o brother is experiencing same on 30 mg iso. How old is your brother? Did acne become better?
Haha, I know, I just wanted to clarify. I thought it might sound like you need to be on birth control in addition to Accutane, but you don't! It's only if you to keep pregnancy from occuring. :) Thanks for the feedback!
Kirbie- did you take accutane in the past? Thanks
I took Accutane for 7 months and I had dry chapped lips, it dried out my nose so I had occasional nose bleeds, my eyes were dried out so I sometimes could not go out in the sun or even turn on the light in my room, and I got rashes on my hands. But honestly it was all worth it because after those months my face was cleared. It does work. Thanks for this helpful video !
How is it now?
@@wendielaura3299 hi I took Accutane in high school the year 2010 and i am now 28 my skin is still really clear. I get occasional breakouts during my period but it is extremely minimal like around 1 or 2 small breakouts.
@@foreverjennicole do you have any health or liver problems after taking accutane? I’m on day 4 of taking accutane and I’m so scared right now.
@@wendielaura3299 my doctor had me doing blood tests every month that I was on accutane to make sure my liver was ok and also to make sure I was not pregnant while on Accutane. It was required. I do not have any liver or health problems
@@foreverjennicole do you purge during accutane?
4th month I’m just hoping it will work out in the end
This treatment works *AcneCureOnline. Com* go to the website and watch the video. I have been using the information for a few weeks now. My acne is completely gone now.?
Some of this information is wrong. Just so everyone knows, you need to be on TWO forms of birth control even if you are abstinent. Also, the side effects are really not explained here to their fullest. They are very serious and tough to deal with so do your research before starting!
Depends where you are
Abstinence is one of the options for one of the forms of birth control. You just need to be on one more form with the abstinence choice.
Fantastic acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to have short, sweet and to the point with what foods to avert and increase ingestion for much better skin, eliminating acne. Believe me, this will make sense. I do concur that the guide can help. Incredibly useful and a good help to remove acne. .
i am on it and i had to go from 20 mg to 10 mg for a month because my blood tests came wrong, liver has serious modifications in enzymes, there are several very serious side effects and in this video they are said very superficial.
First day taking it!!!
How’s it going ?
@@liavhanegbi2729 it’s amazing, all my acne is gone and I love it
@@moosse8 Wow that’s good to hear !
Wat about hair loss and sucide thoughts because someone told me these were side effects
Why am I hearing about this now....
My doctor suggest me Isotroin 20... is this like Accutane ??? Is anyone tell me plz dat what the accutane actually is ???
They're the same thing
can i take this at the same time having pill for facial growth
SaI rAm RaHuL what pill are you taking facial hair growth?
i would try it if it didn't cost so much like 400 a month and have to do blood works and birth control pills plus it is for 4-6 months for accutane and 5-7 for birth control pills.
Hniang van that is your cost! i'm saying that it is probably going to cost like 400 per month for me.
MiyukiItachi sorry, I thought I was helping by sharing my experience. I spent approx. $10,000 in 6 yrs to heal my acne and nothing worked that's my point, and that's my experience. Everyone have different experience so nothing to get mad or to argue about here... chill!
Hniang van i'm not mad but when people think they know the cost of it just because it costed them less it annoys me
That's so shit. If it's the USA you live in that's awful. I feel sorry for people who's insurance can't cover it. They should give the ones who can't manage to get it due to their insurance a chance. Here in Scotland we have the nhs.. And yeah you can wait hours for something but it's all free.. And everything's up to standards!
Do you still have acne?
Day 9 for me 💙
So... how was/is it
@@bburthardt bro none of these people answer I’m so curious
you actually must use birth control its now one of the requirements. I'm 13 and on my 4 month and I still have to take it every day or I'm not allowed to receive more
Maren E I'm 22 and because I'm abstinent I don't have to take birth control, the only thing I have to do is take a pregnancy test every month for protocol
+Olivia oh that's strange, I know that you are MEANT to be on a birth control. However my dermo did ask if I was sexually active.. He said even though you aren't you best still go the pill. But if your like me.. Say that you are on birth control, but don't actually take it. (There's no need for me to take something that's going to make me break out, hormonal, fat and over all shit.) sounds stupid but I'm not having sex. So no point!
I'm on it and I don't have to use birth control.
Under the iPledge program in America, I am able to pledge abstinence and then for my second means of contraception I selected male condoms, even though I'm abstinent ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What a beautiful man
Those are not all of the side effects.
My friend is on accutane and we were walking once and she got a horrible nose bleed and blood was pouring everywhere, even down her throat:(
ally lavery are u joking
Happened to me on my school bus two times and it sucked
Lol idk why i laughed srry
How to get this drug if im not from usa?
Anu you should go to a dermatologist first
Well, in Europe I think it’s called Roaccutane. Different name but same shit
in asia its called acnotin.
i went to my dermatologist because my acne wasn’t going(i have mild acne) and she put me on accutane at that time i didn’t even know what it was
Done with Life what is ur dosage?
Capri 23 40 mg
Done with Life what your process of getting it?
Capri 23 it’s a REALLY annoying process. so first you have to go to the dermatologist (obviously) then you’ll have to do a urine pregnancy test. then after that you have to wait one month and take a blood test close to your next dermatologist appointment (gotta do that eveymonth) and then if you look good in everything she’ll give it to you. you also have to sign up for iPledge every month otherwise they won’t give you the medicine.
Done with Life why do you have to wait one month?
Some of the damages will follow us for life. Wait for it.
Ray Mak did that happen to you
Daniel Dooley I'm in health care handling people with gut issues and damages from isotretinoin
Ray Mak ahh it happened to me
Ray Mak any tips for improvement on any effects
Hello to all people who have issue with acne. I am 22 years old, and since I was little girl, I suddenly got horrendous acne covering my face. I tried all acne medications available but it was no good. I even tried many diets and advice but in the end i got some metabolism disorder and I ended up with even more acne. My last hope was to try special laser treatments and when that failed too, it seemed I will never find solution. Then I run across this page. It’s name is: *AcneCureOnline. Com* It was impossible to believe, and advice from this site helped me to cure acne! After only 7 days I had first results and after less than two months my skin was free of acne. All this thanks to secrets from this site
I'm definitely going to tell her that I'm not sexually active next time and to not assume that I am before asking me and not freak when I'm not using birth control.
I think this may be old policy, currently you are required to be on two forms of birth control, one can be abstinence and the other can be a birth control pill or another form of physical birth control, visit the ipledge website.
TatumMelia Ah thank you, I was about to flip a shit with her because she assumed I was already sexually active! hahah.
It might sound stupid, but I love it that you asked "You only need to be on birth control when you are sexualy active, right?". Thank you for not assuming that everyone in their teen years is sexualy active.
Anyone that reads my comments.. Is it a risk if I am depressed and start this treatment? Im not sure if I should go through with it
Maybe it's not a risk

You don't have to be on it if you're not sexually active!? My dermatologist freaked out when I said I wasn't on it and didn't bother to ask me if I was sexually active in the first place, which I'm not. Woooow. Assuming much!
Accutane fucked up my life.
How?
