Combined use of energy‐based interventions with low‐dose isotretinoin for the treatment of inflammatory acne: An retrospective cohort analysis
Abstract
The combined use of oral isotretinoin with energy‐based interventions including fractional microneedle radiofrequency, pulsed dye laser, and ablative fractional laser is an effective way to treat moderate‐to‐severe inflammatory acne lesions. However, studies regarding its efficacy and safety are limited.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence.
