Answer: It is probably safe to do now but check with your doctor. Hello osvanessa,Thanks for your question.It is probably safe to have the peel before you try to get pregnant. You should be sufficiently healed after 1-2 weeks to start trying to get pregnant.An AHA kojic acid peel is designed to improve pigmentary issues with the skin so the chance for post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation is minimal. I recommend SPF 50 or greater sunblock to all of my chemical peel patients.I would just let the medical professional performing the peel know that you want to start the process of getting pregnant soon after the peel to let them know what they are getting into.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: In General, Pregnancy and Chemical Peels Don't Mix Thank you for your question.If you are considering getting pregnant soon, I would not get a facial chemical peel. If you get pregnant soon, the hormones of pregnancy could trigger post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation and you could have a worse problem. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these treatments. I hope this helps.
