Can I do a chemical peel after Botox?

Chemical peels are commonly done after a Botox treatments.  Good Luck. 

Yes, in fact it is very common for patients to undergo a Botox treatment and have routine peels. I would recommend that
first a peel be performed which is then followed by the Botox treatment. If you do it in reverse then waiting 2 weeks
is optimal.

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.

Chemical peels can be done at the same time you do botox. If a crease or line is still present after you have your botox in effect, then you can peel it if it is very shallow or superficial. If the crease is still deep then I would fill it with either Juvaderm or Radiesse or Restylane.

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.

MD2MJS,
There is no contraindication to having a chemical peel two weeks after Botox. In fact, we often perform peels concurrently with Botox injections. Just make sure that you are going to a qualified doctor.

No problem! I frequently treat patients with Botox and Chemical Peels on the same day! Two weeks is more than enough time to wait. 

Absolutely, you can get a Chemical Peel two weeks after Botox. I have patients who get peels the very next day after Botox, so two weeks after won't be a problem at all!

Yes, there is no contraindications with receiving these two treatments on the same day. These two treatments actually compliment each other as they are reducing fine lines.

As you asked, you can either have the superficial chemical peel two weeks after Botox or at the same time. Botox effects will usually be seen by week two. If the wrinkles are very deep. Than other fillers or deeper peels may be needed as well.
