Can I do a chemical peel after Botox?

I regularly perform chemical peels of varying depth in my office.  In patients with severe rhytids of the face, I insist on Botox injections before the chemical peel to allow more even distribution of the acid solution during the procedure.

Hi MD,
You may have a chemical peel after Botox. After Botox injections patients are advised to avoid lying down for at least 3 hours as a precaution to avoid inadvertent spread of Botox to the upper eye lids. Certainly two weeks after Botox there is no contraindication to a chemical peel.
In fact, I prefer to treat my patients with Botox about one week before a peel or Fraxel laser treatment because research has shown that skin heals better after these treatments if the skin does not move.
Good luck and be well. Happy Holidays.
