Is it safe to have an ipl, microdermabration, and chemical peel all in the same visit?

It depends on the exact specifics of what they put in the chemical
peel and how intense they are doing the IPL. Also, I would say that
the practictioner needs to have a lot of experience to even consider
this protocol. In general, however, if they are recommending this
kind of treatment it might be better to consider a laser resurfacing
with CO2 or erbium yag which would yield a much better result in 1
treatment.

I personally would not suggest Microdermabrasion, chemical peel and IPL on
the same day.
I think this is too much and too hard on your skin.
You will have a higher risk of a complication.

Hello. Because a chemical peel and microdermabrasion are both designed
to exfoliate the skin, we would not recommend having both those
treatments on the same day. It would likely lead to much skin
irritation. The IPL treatment may or may not be ok with
microdermabrasion or a chemical peel on the same day. This depends on
how intense the laser treatment will be and what is being treated. All
else being equal, we would recommend having these services on different
days just to be safe.

IPL and microderm is a good combination. Would not usually combine with the chemical peel though. May find differing opinions on this though.
