I would like a second opinion: Is it ok to get IPL and chemical peel treatments for hyperpigmentation?

Hi Sofar I have gotten 4 IPL treatments on my face and I do see lightening of my hyperpigmentation already. I would be interested to know if I could combine IPL with chemical peels. My esthetician recommended an AHA Vitamin C peel or TCA peel Would it be ok to get a chemical peel done after IPL? If yes how many days apart should I get them done? I am interested more in TCA peel and at what strength should I start.my skin usually tolerates acids very well. I have South Asian skin Thanx
