There are different degrees that you can carry out microdermabrasion and chemical peels prior to Laser Resurfacing Depending on the depth, this could effect your laser treatment. If done deeper, the CO2 laser will then be more aggressive than the doctor had anticipated and could lead to complications such as scarring and pigmentation problems. I would not do any significant procedure such as the microderm and chemical peel for 2-4 weeks before the procedure to be safe.
