Would Chemical Peel Help with Crepey Under Eye Skin?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Every patient reacts differently and you need to discuss the options with your surgeon.  However, I frequently perform chemical peels on the lower eyelids to tighten the skin.  Most commonly it is a procedure performed in combination with a transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty.

Skin resurfacing is certainly one of the solutions to crepey lower eyelid skin. This can be accomplished through chemical peels or laser peels. The peel needs to be moderate in depth and that would include Jessners and TCA or Phenol. Laser resurfacing can be performed with CO2 laser or Erbium and even Fractionated laser can be of benefit. Good skin care products will help to maintain the result and possibly Botox.
