Can I get microneedling with salicylic acid peel at the same time?

Question

Can I get microneedling with salicylic acid peel at the same time? Will it lead to better improvement in my skin? I have Indian brown skin. I want to get my regular sal acid peel but also get a micro needling done for the minimal scarring. Can the treatments be combined?

Aurora DeJuliis, MD · Answer

Microneedling creates fine open channels into the skin in order to stimulate collagen fibers. Immediately after microneedling the skin might be red and dry and need special care for the next 2-3 days. So it is not a good idea to combine microneedling with any chemical peel. I would do the chemical peel first and in a couple of weeks do the microneedling.

Thank you for your questionUnfortunately, you do not want to over stimulate the skin by receiving a a micro needling treatment and a chemical peel simultaneously. You can however, wait two weeks in between treatments.Best wishes

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

I would recommend spacing the chemical peels and microneedling treatment sessions apart. 2 weeks interval should be fine unless you are having particularly aggressive peels or microneedling treatments. Salicylic acid peels are a great treatment option for acne and post acne blemishes while microneedling is a great treatment for uneven skin texture, acne scars, and enlarged pores.

Linda Kelley, MD · Answer

I am going to assume that you are going to a practitioner for your skin procedures. No, I would not recommend that you have both of these procedures at the same time. Your skin type is more prone to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and may be more sensitive, which is common in skin of color. These procedures should be done separately by a qualified practitioner.
