Hello, that's a very good question!
In fact, according to the manufacturers of the product, when you are taking Accutane, and for at least 6 months after stopping the drug, it is advised to avoid cosmetic procedures that risk skin irritation, such as waxing, as the drug may increase the risk of scarring, epidermal stripping or even dermatitis.
I hope this answers your question.
