Our Care

Is it possible to resume treatment with acneclear after a break?

acneclear understands that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you may need to take a break from your Isotretinoin therapy. We offer flexibility to accommodate such situations.

Patients using Isotretinoin can generally take short pauses of up up to 2 – 3 weeks to manage side-effects, enjoy sunny holidays, or attend special events. This flexibility allows you to balance your treatment with other aspects of your life. However, it’s important to note that extended breaks longer than this timeframe may require you to start treatment over again.

Additionally, taking breaks in your treatment will naturally extend the duration of your therapy, and you’ll need to schedule more doctor appointments to monitor your progress.

If you find yourself in need of a treatment break or have any questions about resuming your acneclear services after a pause, our experienced healthcare providers are here to guide you and ensure that your treatment journey remains as effective and convenient as possible. Your skin’s journey to clear and confident skin should be adaptable to your unique needs.

How long does it typically take to receive prescribed medication?

At acneclear, we understand the importance of timely access to your prescribed medication, especially when using treatments like Roaccutane (Accutane or Isotretinoin). We aim to make the process as efficient as possible to get you started on your path to clear and confident skin.

Typically, once you’ve had your virtual consultation and your healthcare provider has prescribed medication, you can expect your prescribed medication to be delivered to your door within approximately 10 days. We work closely with our partner pharmacy to ensure that the process is streamlined and efficient.

We know that quick access to your medication is crucial for your treatment journey, and we’re committed to delivering your prescriptions promptly.

Can I continue using over-the-counter acne products with acneclear?

While using acneclear, particularly with medications like Roaccutane (Accutane or Isotretinoin), it’s generally recommended to discontinue the use of over-the-counter acne products with active ingredients. This is because Isotretinoin is a highly effective treatment for moderate to severe acne and using additional topical acne products can lead to over-treatment and an increased risk of side effects.

Our healthcare providers will provide guidance on adjusting your skincare routine during your consultation to ensure that your treatment plan is optimised for effectiveness and minimal side effects. If you have specific products you’re unsure about, don’t hesitate to discuss them with our team for personalised recommendations.

We’re here to help you achieve clear and confident skin with a treatment plan that suits your individual needs and optimises the benefits of medications like Roaccutane (Accutane or Isotretinoin). If you have any questions or need further guidance on your skincare routine during treatment, please reach out to us.

Is it safe to continue other medications while using acneclear?

When using acneclear, particularly in conjunction with medications like Roaccutane (Accutane or Isotretinoin), it’s essential to consult with our healthcare providers regarding any other medications you may be taking.

Our experienced team can assess your specific situation and provide guidance on the safety and compatibility of your current medications with your acne treatment plan. In some cases, certain medications may need to be adjusted or discontinued to ensure the best results and minimise potential interactions.

Your well-being is our top priority, and we’re here to provide personalised support and recommendations to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your treatment. If you have questions about continuing other medications while using acneclear or need guidance on medication interactions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.

Do I need to stop using my current skincare products during treatment?

Yes, it’s advisable to discontinue the use of skincare products with active ingredients intended to treat acne while undergoing treatment with medications like Roaccutane (Accutane or Isotretinoin). This is because Isotretinoin itself is a highly effective treatment for moderate to severe acne and using additional topical acne products may lead to over-treatment and increased risk of side effects.
