Marc Cohen, MD answers: Chemical Peel after Botox

Can I get chemical peel two weeks after I had Botox (on the frown line between eyes only)?

There is no problem with having a chemical peel 2 weeks after receiving a Botox treatment.  In fact it is possible that the areas of your face that were treated with Botox may have an even greater improvement with a chemical peel because the dynamic wrinkles (wrinkle of expression) will not be forming as the chemical peel heals.  This has been proven to be the case with laser skin resurfacing and Botox.  A medium depth chemical peel probably would have the same type of improvement with Botox.

As with all treatments the key is matching the correct treatment with the problem.  If the problem is wrinkles from movement, Botox is best.  If the problem is deep permanent lines, fillers like Juvederm or Restylane are the way to go.  If you are looking for an improvement in fine lines, general skin texture and completion, various chemical peels (or laser resurfacing) is the most helpful.
