5 answers to Waiting Period Between Chemical Peel and Restylane?

Peels and Restylane can be done at the same time

I only wait for few days if i'm using laser and fillers. If I use chemical peels, I could do both at the same time. You might get more swelling, but it will evently go away.

Can do same day

I find it best to do the peel first, then the injectable dermal filler. Swelling will be more likely, but otherwise it is not a problem. I do it all the time for the convenience of my patients.

No waiting period

Iggy, There really is no waiting period. We do injections are peels together all the time without a problem. This way, you can recover from both at the same time. Good luck.

Chemical peel and Restylane

If you are getting a light chemical peel, it can be done anytime in relation to the restylane injection. If you are getting a deeper, resurfacing peel, for example TCA 20% or stronger, I would suggest waiting 2 weeks until most of the inflammation has subsided before restylane injections.

Fillers can be used simultaneously with chemical peels

I have been successfully combining treatments of fillers with other minimally invasive procedures for years. A chemical peel works on a more superfical layer of the skin than does Restylane. Certain combinations of Botox, chemical peels, Thermage, fillers, and laser resurfacing can be simultaneously performed by experienced cosmetic surgeons.
