One of the most revolutionary inventions in the field of dermatology was Accutane. Unfortunately, the risk of side effects has made this very versatile treatment a rarely used modality fraught with many hurdles, especially in the United States. A 10 year retrospective case study of 201 cases will demonstrate the benefits of a novel approach to the treatment of acne utilizing weight base low dose Accutane to help improve cure rates while reducing the risks of side effects. The effect and combination of oral antibiotics, alcohol and certain fruit juices will be reviewed. The safe use of concomitant laser resurfacing among other lasers will be demonstrated when used with this low dose Accutane treatment. Various case studies will be presented to reveal the safety and efficacy of this new treatment.
