Can I do a enzyme peel after a IPL treatment?

Question

Hi, I did a IPL treatment today and I'm wondering if I can use any kind of peel until my next appointment? Before the IPL treatment I had recently started to do a enzyme peel 1 a week. But I'm a little worried to aggrivate my skin in any way.

Thank you for your questionHaving an enzyme peel can be helpful in exfoliating of the darker pigmentation after an IPL but we do  recommend waiting a few days to a week depending on how your skin responded to your IPL treatment

Once the skin has healed and the redness has decreased, it is alright to undergo other facial procedures. We would not recommend the treatments in the first few days after IPL. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
