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

Header04Nov 7, 2023
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.
