Dark undereye circles

Stella Desyatnikova, 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?

Chemical peels in general are not a good option for this problem, especially the take-home peels. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done for pigment deposits in this area, especially for the genetic kind. Seek the opinion of an experienced facial plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or a plastic surgeon.
