Specialist Acne Treatment / Roaccutane in Monaghan & Cavan

Roaccutane (isotretinoin) is a highly effective prescription medication specifically designed for the treatment of severe acne.

Roaccutane works by significantly reducing the production of sebum in the skin, effectively targeting the root causes of acne, including clogged pores and inflammation. It not only helps to clear existing breakouts but also prevents future outbreaks, making it an invaluable option for those struggling with persistent and debilitating acne. Dr Brides conducts thorough evaluations to determine if Roaccutane is the right choice for you, taking into account your medical history and individual skin condition.

Dr Brides can prescribe Roaccutane for severe acne. The usual treatment course is between 6-8 months. It will require an initial consultation to determine suitability and monthly follow up visits for the duration of treatment.

Roaccutane Prices:

  • Initial visit €165 (30 min)

  • Follow up visit €100

Why Choose Roaccutane for Severe Acne

If you’re living in Monaghan, Cavan or the surrounding counties and suffering from stubborn, persistent acne — deep cystic or nodular acne, or acne that hasn’t responded to topical creams or antibiotics — then Roaccutane (isotretinoin) may offer the lasting clear skin you’ve been searching for.

  • What Roaccutane does: Roaccutane works at the root of acne by dramatically reducing sebum (oil) production, which helps prevent clogged pores, reduces inflammation, and addresses all four major mechanisms that cause acne.

  • Why it's more effective than standard treatments: Unlike short-term solutions like topical creams or antibiotics, Roaccutane can provide long-term clearance — often transforming severe or recurrent acne into clear, healthy skin.

  • Who it's for: We evaluate every patient carefully: if acne is severe (e.g. nodular, cystic, scarring) or if milder acne has resisted previous treatments, then Roaccutane might be the right choice — but only after a proper medical assessment.

What to Expect at Monaghan Aesthetic Clinic

At Monaghan Aesthetic Clinic (serving clients from Monaghan, Cavan and nearby areas), under the care of our experienced doctor, you will receive:

  • A detailed initial consultation to review your acne history, skin type, general health and suitability for Roaccutane.

  • Personalised treatment plan, typically a 6–8 month course — the standard protocol for effective results.

  • Monthly follow-up visits to monitor skin progress, manage any side-effects, and adjust dosage if needed. This ensures both safety and optimal outcome.

  • Support and guidance throughout treatment: because Roaccutane can make skin (and lips) dry, we advise moisturising routines, gentle skincare, and sun-protection.

  • Option to discuss additional skin-care or scar-management treatments after or during Roaccutane — such as medical-grade skincare, microneedling or other therapies offered at the clinic, ensuring a comprehensive skin plan.

What You Should Know Before Starting Roaccutane

Because Roaccutane is a powerful medication, we’ll always assess carefully to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for you. Key points:

  • Roaccutane is generally reserved for moderate-to-severe acne or acne resistant to standard therapies.

  • Side-effects are common: dryness of skin, lips or eyes, increased sensitivity to sun, possible changes in mood or energy — which is why careful monitoring is essential.

  • Regular follow-up and proper skincare routines (moisturiser, lip balm, gentle cleanser, sun protection) are important to minimise side effects and maximize results.
