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?
Answer: Chemical peels in undereye area. In assessing dark circles we have to establish whether it is from volume loss, and is maybe an illusion of shadow and contour, or is this truly a pigmentation issue. Is it brown and velvety, like rubbed skin from a chronic allergy? Or, is it bluish pink discoloration that appears deeper in the skin and is usually familial, and difficult to treat. If it truly seems to be a pigmentary issue where it is a darker shade, then a milder peel 20 - 30% glycolic is a good starting point. We have to be very cautious with using chemical peels so close to the eyes during a procedure.

Answer: Different options exist Chemical peels act by removing the superficial layers of the skin. Different types are available e.g. Glycolic, TCA, etc...The deeper the peel the more effect you get but also the more risk of having hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation.The eye lid skin is very thin and a lesser concentration is always advised. Different skin types react in different ways to peels. Skin types are divided from 1-6 depending on the degree of pigmentation(one is very fair,six is very dark)A consultation with a licensed plastic surgeon or dermatologist will give you the best and safest way to proceed.I hope that helps.

Answer: It depends on your skin type This would really depend on your skin type and the cause of the discoloration. TCA peels are commonly used but it would be best to seek a qualified physician who can guide you in the correct choice of peel or other treatments. Sometimes medications such as those used for the mask of pregnancy may be a better way of treating your condition.
