Can I still use my AHA/BHA chemical peel, Salicylic acid, glycolic acid and lactic acid on my cheeks if only lasering chin?

Hi, i have recently purched the illuminage precise touch laser hair removal device from Sephora. The instructions state that i have to discontinue the use of all AHA/BHA chemical peels, Salicylic acid, glycolic acid & lactic acid products 2 weeks prior to treatment. However these products are a must to keep my skin from breaking out (especially my cheeks). I am only treating my chin/neck area, so do i have to discontinue the use of these products ONLY on my chin/neck, or over the full face?
