Can I have a Jessner and 20% TCA peel performed a couple days after after receiving Covid-19 vaccine?

Question

I have layered Jessner and 20% TCA peels a couple of times a year. How long should I wait after vaccine to have 20% TCA peel?

Amy Forman Taub, MD · Answer

During the period following this vaccine, there is a stimulation of the immune system.  This could cause an overreaction to the peel or any procedure for that matter.  Also, most of the side effects of the vaccine occur in the first 2 weeks.  The process of completing most of the immune stimulation occurs in 2 weeks.  I would wait until after that as any procedure requires healing, which is intricately involved with immune function.
