Is It Safe to Combine Microdermabrasion with Chemical Peel?

I'm wondering if Microdermabrasion and a Chemical peel can be done at same time in the same session.

What is the advantage or disadvantage? I've had it done, but heard they're not supposed to be done together and wonder whats true and what could be a disadvantage as I have another appointment scheduled.

Is it acceptable for an aesthetician to perform this? What is the benefit or disadvantage?
