I routinely do Botox followed by laser or peel treatments on the same day. If you had a deep peel, its best to wait till the skin is healed to have another procedure done; but it likely will not cause any problems. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.
I often do both at the same time. How deep was the peel. Botox is put under the skin. If the chemical peel caused swelling under the skin where you want the Botox, I would want to to wait.
You do not mention what type of peel you had. As long as your skin has healed and is intact, you can have Botox injections. Next time, you may consider having Botox first and then a chemical peel the next day or later.

The length of time to recover from a chemical peel depends on the strength and type of peel you have done. As a general rule, if you are no longer peeling or irritated from the peel it is safe for you to resume your workout routine.
Most chemical peels such as fruit acids or TCA peels do not thin the skin at all. They take the top layers off and allow you to produce new skin from below so the total thickness never changes. The more peels you do then the younger you look as a rule. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
You could, but you could also risk further injuring the skin with a chemical peel in areas that are already hyperpigmented. Injury to the skin, especially Asian, Brown, East Indian or Black, is prone to hyperpigmenttion after injury, bites, surgery, sclerotherapy ... Sometimes, it takes up to 3 ...
