Peel then Micro OR Micro then peel???

I've seen a lot of comments about people doing a peel/micro combo. Can anyone give feedback on doing this combination please? Does anyone prefer to do the peel first or the micro first and what are the effects of both? I do this combo in my practice and I always do the peel before the micro and my clients are having great results, but I've never tried it the other way around.

I do the peel first if I'm addressing acne scarring, the microdermabrasion first if addressing deep hyperpigmentation, melasma and get great results. I do use a 10%-20% strength acids in most cases. Results are great with fruit enzyme peels too.

Great question! I personally do the microderm first...my thought is that you want to remove as much of the dead skin cells as possible so that the peel can be most affective on the deeper layers that the microderm doesn't reach. I do however only do light peels, lactic 15% glycolic 30 or 60%. I use Glo Therapeutic products and this is also their protocol. Good luck!
