Would a Series of GA Peels Be Recommended for a 57 Year Old?

...who has been using Retin-A (0.1%) for about 14 years now? I don't use it every night, but probably about 3-4x/wk. I also take Triamterene w/Hctz 70/50 mg 1/2tab/1x/daily for fluid retention. I would like to start the 30-35% GA peels at home, but am apprehensive about the negative side effects. I have Silk Peel done at a Medspa and loved it and the results. How do use dermabrasion and GA on a regimen together?

Trying new regimens...get professional advice...
I highly recommend you see a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist for guidance first! This could be more beneficial to you than to trying a new regimen without supervision. More harm than good could potentially come of this.
Good luck.

Glycolic acid peels
You shouldn't need to figure this out yourself as long as you go to a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. They or their aesthetician can help create a customized program for you much better than a spa can.
