Is Accutane the ultimate acne cure—or just a last resort? In this episode, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee take a comprehensive look at isotretinoin (commonly known as Accutane): how it works, who it’s for, what to expect, and how to manage the journey. They unpack dosage strategies, success rates, side effects (from dry lips to rare complications), and clear up common myths—especially around mental health and relapse rates. They also share personal stories, new research on post-Accutane scarring treatments, and practical tips for managing skin, sun exposure, and nutrition while on the drug. If you or someone you know is considering Accutane, this episode is your go-to guide.
