Is hairloss from Accutane permanent?
Is the hairloss from accutane / roaccutane permanent? Are any of the side effects?
Hair loss from Roaccutane / Accutane is very unusual and fortunately is temporary; the hair regrows in a few months. I am not aware of any side effects from Accutane / Roaccutane that are irreversible except of course birth defects that always occur in a developing fetus if a pregnant female takes it during pregnancy.
