I have heavily sun damaged skin that is very rough and coarse with a thick layer of dead skin that builds up quickly as well as highly oily skin with a few enlarged oil glands. I used to get Jessner peel every two weeks and that gave me amazing results but would a base VI Peel every 2 weeks be too much? I was thinking every 3 weeks so as to get a slightly more though peel from these? I have had theme very 4 weeks but would every 3 weeks be too close?

Great Question.
If you had only subcision, you should be able to have a peel quicker than if you had microneedling and subcision. I typically like to wait 2-4 weeks. Its best to follow up and see if your skin is ready.
Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus...
Hello and thank you for your question.
No need to worry. Preparing the skin prior to a chemical peel will only improve the results. Follow your post care instructions and if you have any concerns consult with your provider.
Enjoy your results!
