How long after micro-needling should I wait before doing an at-home chemical peel with peel pads or peel liquid?

Asked By:Victoria.Z in Cardiff, GB

I've bought a derma roller and understand it takes 5-6 weeks for new collagen to form. Do I have to wait all this time before doing some type of chemical peel ? EG a 15 % TCA peel. I was also looking at the "Perfect Image" brand of level 2 peel pads which contain TCA and are to be used weekly. I'd be doing one of these, just not sure which yet or what kind of routine to develop in terms of time frames between the derma rolling and peel treatments. Thanks in advance .....
