This lovely patient came to us because she relapsed following a successful course of isotretinoin 3 years previously. She wanted to get ready for her wedding 8 months later, and she looks amazing!

Patient had a previous course of Isotretinoin 7 years earlier, but was underdosed and her acne unfortunately returned. She suffered from painful nodular and cystic acne on her face that was causing scarring. A beautiful result after only a few months under care.

After struggling with severe acne and finding NHS waitlists too long, this patient turned to Botonics. They appreciated the free online consultation, speedy process, and comprehensive support, including video calls, blood tests, and detailed guidance. The convenience of remote care during university life and the effective treatment transformed their confidence and skin health.

After years of painful, cystic acne and unsuccessful treatments, this patient found renewed hope with Botonics. Seamless, professional care and isotretinoin transformed her skin in months with minimal side effects. Now acne-free, she’s regained confidence and wishes she’d started treatment sooner.

Over the counter products, antibiotics and prescription topicals didn't touch this lovely patient's acne. A course of treatment resolved all acne, and she is now working to improve her remaining scarring.

Risks & complications
Roaccutane can cause severe and long lasting damage to a patient’s health, which is why blood tests are critical and why the dosage must be prescribed by an experienced doctor. For women, Roaccutane causes birth defects so they must not become pregnant while taking the medication and for several months after finishing it. The medication can cause changes in mood, and causes dryness to the membranes (skin, mouth, eyes, lips, etc.) and sensitivity to light. It can also cause serious health issues such as a spike in cholesterol, drop in Gamma GTs indicating you've developed a neutropenia, etc. Therefore, the dose must be balanced to keep these side effects bearable during the 5 - 7 month treatment cycle. Because of these risks and inconveniences, Roaccutane is a treatment of last resort when a patient has exhausted other options such as over the counter treatments, oral and topical antibiotics. The key advantage of Roaccutane is that it has an extremely high success rate in resolving acne that cannot be helped in any other way. Patients who complete the course tend to enjoy benefits lasting from several years to the rest of their lives.
