Are combining a mild Chemical Peel and Microdermbrasion safe?

Combining microdermbrasions and chemical peels will depend on your skin type. I typically do not recommend doing them together at the same time, however if you have thick, oily skin it is generally okay. I do recommend staggering treatments such as doing a microdermbrasion and then waiting 2 weeks to do a Chemical Peel, and then spacing the next microdermbrasion in 3 to 4 weeks.

It depends on the ingredients of the chemical peel. However, I don't find microdermabrasion generally effective for most skin problems.

While it is not really unsafe to perform both procedures, it may be irritating to the skin. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels (at least mild peels) are designed to exfoliate the skin, removing the upper layers of dead skin cells. If both treatments are combined at the same time, it could very well lead to red, irritated skin. We are not able to make a suggestion for the best treatment for you because we do not know which skin condition you are attempting to fix with these treatments.
