What is a potential risk when combining different skincare treatments such as LED and chemical peels?

Combining different skincare treatments, such as LED therapy and chemical peels, can lead to increased skin sensitivity. This heightened sensitivity arises because both treatments can significantly impact the skin. Chemical peels exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and potentially disrupting the skin barrier, while LED therapy often works to stimulate healing and cellular activity. When these treatments are combined, the skin may become more reactive to both the treatments themselves and other environmental factors, leading to discomfort or irritation.

This aspect of increased sensitivity is particularly important to consider, as it necessitates careful evaluation of the timing and intensity of each treatment, as well as adaptations to post-treatment care to support recovery and maintain skin health.
