How long after laser resurfacing can a light peel be performed under a doctor's supervision?

After laser resurfacing, the skin needs adequate time to heal before any additional procedures, including light peels, are performed. Waiting about one month is generally recommended to ensure that the skin has recovered sufficiently from the laser treatment. This period allows for the skin to undergo necessary processes such as inflammation reduction and re-epithelialization, which are crucial for preparing the skin for further treatments.

Performing a light peel too soon could complicate the healing process, potentially leading to irritation or adverse reactions. A month presents a balanced timeframe that enables the skin to be in a better condition to handle the effects of a peel while still allowing for benefits from both treatments.

The other options suggest shorter or markedly longer waiting periods that don't align with typical protocols for skin recovery following a laser treatment.
