Can extractions be done on the same day as a chemical peel?

Question

Can an extraction facial be done as a prep for a chemical peel ? in order to clear the pores out and help penetration of the peel.

Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

Hi - thanks for your question. Yes, a peel can be done in conjunction with a medical facial and extractions. Overall clarity is immediately improved—and inflammation and breakouts are reduced.You will achieve more extensive results if extractions are followed by a chemical peel. I hope this helps!

Tonya Boudreaux, MD · Answer

Yes, a deep cleansing facial with extractions can be done prior to a chemical peel and is recommended. 
Enjoy your treatment!

Hi,
thanks for posting your question. A quality chemical peel should
improve skin texture and treat congestion anyway, so extractions can
be done but are not absolutely necessary. Please see an experienced
therapist for extractions and/or chemical peels. All the best, Dr
Campey
