I'm John Barbieri, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and acne expert at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. In this video we will discuss how to choose the best dose of isotretinoin and for how many months to treat. By thoughtfully individualizing dosing regimens, we can improve long-term clearance outcomes and minimize side effects.
