Is it safe to have dermal fillers 13 days following a 10% salicyclic acid peel?

Question

First time for fillers, but have done the same peel one month ago with no problems.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I often do them on the same day. I suggest going to a cosmetic dermatologist with extensive experience in lasers, peels, fillers and skin care.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Daniel Berg, MD · Answer

There should be no problem as long as your face has no active breaks in the skin (unlikely with superficial peels)...

Mary P. Lupo, MD · Answer

Light chemical peels, like salicylic acid peels, are very safe and can be safely combined, even on the same day with dermal fillers.  The most important issue with dermal fillers is a pristinely clean face with all traces of makeup removed before cleansing and disinfecting the skin. The most important post-peel step is to not pull any dead skin off and to avoid the sun.

Robert T. Buchanan, MD (retired) · Answer

Peels and fillers are not mutually exclusive. As long as the skin can be cleansed adequately and there are no crusts the peel should be safe. You would not want to do a filler, however, if the peel caused any swelling as that would obscure the problem.
