I would not recommend any type of chemical peel during pregnancy. Although the systemic absorption of the product is probably very low, it certainly is not worth the risk. Many of these chemicals may be detrimental to the embryo.

Hi!
Microdermabrasion and superficial chemical peels are low risk procedures, but why take a chance. In our New York practice, we don't do anything elective on pregnant women, and we require a pregnancy test before any procedure.
