How long after CO2 laser can a Jesner chemical peel be performed?

Question

Hello, I got CO2 laser done under my eyes and around my mid-face. It’s been a little over three months, I have a little bit of pinkness at times but for the most part it seems to be healed. How long should I wait before getting a chemical (Jesner) peel? Is my skin still too sensitive for a peel if it is still slightly pink? Thank you.

Generally, it’s important to be cautious when considering chemical peels, especially after undergoing laser treatments. Your skin’s sensitivity and healing process can vary based on individual factors and the specific laser treatment you received.

It’s best to consult with your dermatologist or the healthcare professional who performed the CO2 laser treatment. They can assess your skin’s current condition, sensitivity, and overall health.

Best of luck !
