Chemical peel before filler treatment?

Question

I was wondering if it is okay to have a superficial chemical peel 3 days prior before having a filler treatment. I have had this peel done before it’s from Image Skincare and it never gives me any crazy dead skin sloughing off. Or any swelling. They use a light coat of glycolic acid and vitamin c. So my question is would this be safe? Since I am really not looking forward to having to wait two weeks like some websites may say.

I often recommend superficial chemical pees, (Jessners, VI pee, ZO 3 step and other salasylic peels) along with fillers and botox. The effects are synergistic. The botox takes effect in 3-4 days, the filler swelling recedes and and the peeling is complete. The combination effect is complete by day 4 and most patients look entirely refreshed with out any significant downtime.

you should do the peel the same do you get the filer, do not do the peel days before you will be swollen and red. You can do fillers and peels on the same day, I would suggest emeragecosmetics enlighten or cosmelan at home and aerify monthly with our emerageskin roller x anteagemd ampule.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I have been performing superficial peels of all kinds, including maximum concentration glycolic acid, salicylic acid and Jessner's Solution for well over three decades and injecting fillers of all kinds for a similar length of time.  For those patients requiring both, I routinely treat them in the same treatment session, first filler, then peel. I have found this approach to be safe, effective and a big time saver for patients. So, you can relax. If you still wish to divide up your treatments, I would suggest filler first followed a few days later by the peel.  Bottom line: don't worry. Best of luck.

It depends on the depth of the peel. All chemical peels generate a mild inflammation response. The inflammation from mild, superficial peels can be done immediately after a filler administration, while medium depth peels require a wait period of 1 to 2 weeks.

Hello,You are better off waiting two weeks as the websites say. You want your skin healed, even with superficial chemical peel treatments to avoid any errors and allow injector a good look at intended filler area. 
Or... get the fillers first, wait two days, then get peeled. Not both at once. Dr. Farole

Thank you for your question! Ideally, you really should wait two weeks after any peel before having any injectables or laser treatments. Your skin could be fragile after the peel which could result in broken blood vessels if being injected with needles right after. Again, you would be assuming the risk of possible damage to your skin or a negative outcome if you don not wait the suggested 2 weeks. Hope this helps!
