Chemical peels and dark circles under eyes

Steven Wallach, MD answers: Chemical Peel best for under eye circles?

Will chemical peels help improve dark circles under eyes? If so, what type of chemical peel is best for the area? Will chemical peels for home use be also effective?

If the dark circles are sun damage then any ablative laser or even a TCA medium depth peel may help.  SOme skin care regimens can do it more slowly as well.  If it is long standing dark circles from thin skin, then a filler may help.

TCA and Glycolic chemical peels are great for under your eyes. It really depends on your skin type and your expectations. I hope this is helpful.
