Chemical peels are easy to undergo and do great for wrinkles around the eyes but need to be done 2-4 times since they don't do much individually. Cost is roughly $350 per TCA peel (30-35%) and can be done every 2-4 weeks.
The safety of chemical peels varies by the physician performing the peel, the location of the peel, the skin type of the patient, the concentration and chemical nature of the peel and the duration of the peel. In the right hands, a mild TCA peel can be used in the eyelid area without complications.
