Fraxel is expected to produce better tightening than a chemical peel, as the peels around the eyes should not be too strong . Superficial peels - which only exfoliate - would definitely not induce any tightening.

A: Both chemical peel and Fraxel are effective

L.Stark,

Both chemical peels and Fraxel are effective in treating wrinkles around the eyes. Without a picture of your specific situation it is hard to give you specific advice on which treatment would be best for you. It is best to go to a surgeon who offers both treatments. Good luck.
