How Long After Microdermabrasion Should I Wait to Get a TCA Chemical Peel?

TCA peels can be done the same day as a micro dermabrasion and is important to have good aftercare such as a cortisone lotion, sunscreen and bleaching cream.  Everyone should be getting at least a medium peel every yr or several light ones each year to keep their skin looking great.  Sincerely,

While a chemical peel can be done the same day after the microdermabrasion, you need to be careful to have a very experienced person doing your treatment. The microdermabrasion will enhance the effect of the chemical peel by allowing for deeper penetration of the acid. This can either give you a nicer, enhanced effect in experienced hands, or an unwanted effect for someone who is inexperienced.
