If you do a chemical peel when you are on accutane you will greatly increase your chances for scarring. Your pilosebaceous units are greatly affected by accutane and this effects there ability to resurface your skin and hence can lead to an increase in scarring. Generally you should be off accutane for 1-2 years before you do any resurfacing type of procedure.
