Accutane (isotretinoin) is a prescription oral medicine for severe, scarring or treatment-resistant acne. It reduces oil production and can produce long-term clearance. Because it has important side effects and must never be taken during pregnancy, it requires a dermatologist’s assessment, monitoring and follow-up. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, suitability is decided at consultation.
