I'm currently on 20mg of isotretinoin. Does anyone know if I can have hair laser removal treatment on my underarms?

No, this medication causes sensitivity to light, laser is a light treatment. You have to wait 6 months after finishing the medication.

Are there any contraindications? It seems to me that you can do this without any side effects. I'm just now planning to undergo a course of epilation on my legs and armpits for ten sessions. I was not warned about any strange interactions between epilation and pills at the consultation. I have already found a salon where I will do it, and this is a service beaulaser.co.uk. I was advised by friends who have already been served there, and they all have good reviews, so I'm not afraid to go there. I am terrified of pain, so they carefully check the salons in which I will do anything, so I think you can trust my words
