Hello, Thank you for your question. Typically we recommend 3-4 weeks after your laser treatment to do any additional resurfacing including superficial. If your skin hasn't fully healed within that 3-4 weeks you should wait (no more peeling, redness, or sensitivity has gone away).
Thank you for your question. Typically you need to wait 2 weeks after your laser treatment. If your skin hasn't healed within two weeks you need to wait until your skin is fully healed and all redness has gone away.
Microdermabrasion can be done two to three weeks after a laser treatment. If after the laser treatment there is a peeling process wait until skin is healed. Treatments can typically be separated two weeks apart not unless the treatments are more invasive, then you would have to wait until its healed. Best,Alex Khadavi MD
Give your skin a rest for at least 1-3months, until your skin has fully healed, before doing more resurfacing.Kristine Brecht, MDSeattle, Wa
The microdermabrasion is considered a mechanical exfoliation. If you have any underlying acne it may cause it to come to the surface. It is typically not the treatment itself that is causing acne, but it is clearing out the debris that is already inside the pore.
