How close together should you do peels and microneedling?

Hey guys,

So I just got this sample peel in the mail ( i will do a spot test first!). Its not TCA, its like, 40% glycolic and 30% lactic, along with some other low percentages of skin healing ingredients. I did DIY microneedling a few days ago, nothing too crazy, 1.5 stamp on a couple deeper scars and 1.0 on the rest of my cheek. I did use tea tree oil after to avoid any breakouts, it caused my skin to get really dry/flakey, as tea tree oil usually does for me. Anyway, how soon can i do a peel after mirconeedling? Do i need to wait weeks? Days? I didnt bleed, but i did have microswelling as i normally do.

Thanks!

Sorry no one ever replied! I've been curious to know if you did the peel?

@seattlegal90 I would say "at least" one month between. Peels can take 6 weeks to heal from depending on the %. It really depends on how you heal and respond. More healing time is always best.
