Combining Microdermabrasion and Light Chemical Peels
I heard a combination of microdermabrasion and a light peel can do wonders for the skin. How often should the treatments be performed, and which should be done first? Can microdermabrasion be alternated with mild exfoliating pads instead of a light peel to produce a similar effect?? Thanks in advance. Brenda

Microdermabrasion and Light Chemical Peels
Great idea.
It is a safe way to do wonders to your skin. Then why do most people don't use this approach??
Because it involves patience and most of us are not patient people.

These treatments take judgement for use on dark skin
Hello,
Facial skin treatments take judgment particularly when performed on those with darker skin. Too strong a peel/abrasion can stimulate the development of pigment variations that can look funky. In extreme situations this can produce a mess that may take quite a while to sort out.
With this being said, many aestheticians combine microdermabrasion with light chemical peels to get more improvement. It just needs to be done by someone with experience...at least in my opinion.
