Question

Hello and thank you for your question. People who smoke are able to receive peels and microdermabrasions. If the patient is a smoker, their healing time for treatments can be longer than in a non-smoking patient. Hope you find the information useful.Regards,

Hi, thank you for your question. While smokers can get both a chemical peel & microdermabrasions, healing time may be slower than that of a non-smoker. I hope tis helps.

Depending on the condition of the skin, yes a smoker can get a chemical peel and microdermabrasion. Both are exfoliating treatments.
