Do Deep Chemical Peels REALLY Get Rid of Eye Wrinkles?

Jessner's +35% TCA is a very helpful peel to improve eye creases but needs to be done 3-5 times about 2-4 weeks apart and run $350/session. A good cortisone cream such as triamcinolone cream applied twice a day helps reduce the redness and SPF every morning is important. Sincerely,

A wide variety of chemical peels are available.  The results depend on the type of acid used on the face and to what depth it penetrates.  There is no question, results are very favorable.  The fine lines will be less visible with a deeper peel.  I require pre-treating with a skin bleaching agent one month prior to a deeper peel.  Request to review before and after pictures that the provider actually performed.  Extra care should be taken in the summer avoiding the sun and using appropriate sunscreen.Thank you

Chemical peels can improve skin texture and quality.  I would combine a MelaPeel with Botox injections to improve skin wrinkles around the eyes. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Yes, chemical peels are very effective at improving lower eyelid wrinkles.  The key is peeling to the right depth.  Generally to improve lower eyelid wrinkles, one needs a peel that is of sufficient depth.  This means that the light peels performed by your aesthetician are not going to get the job done.  Several light peels can't do the job on one stronger peel.  TCA is good for minimal lines.  However, phenol is my preferred peeling agent for this purpose.

Thank you for your question! Fine lines can be improved with chemical peels such as TCA. Deep wrinkles need fillers. Chemical peels do improve texture and quality of your skin, but would not remove your wrinkles. Maybe combination of fillers and chemical peel would offer you desired results. Best of luck!
