I would wait at least 4-6 weeks between treatments.  After that, it should be no problem.  Best of luck!

I recommend that you wait a month in between.For uneven skin pigmentation I also recommend a skin regimen prior to to prepare the skin for the peel. 
Melarase AM cream is great to reduce hyperpigmentation and to correct uneven skin pigmentation.
 I also recommend Pigmentation Correction Complex to reduce hyperpigmentation of the skin.
Also avoid sun exposure to prevent inflammation and skin burn injury for at least 4 weeks. Spectrase is highly effective.

Hello. I recommend that you wait four weeks in between your peels. During this time your skin will renew and regenerate. In between your peels, you could do other treatments such as LED or dermaplane.
