I'm a 33 yr old female and have a tons of eye wrinkles: crows feet and under eye wrinkles which botox does NOT get rid of since these have actually become static wrinkles (wrinkles that show even when I'm not making facial expressions). It's really sad that I have so many wrinkles for such a young age! I'm blonde, very thin skinned, poor lasticity and bad genetics I'm skeptical that the peel would work in the sensitive eye area??? Thanks for any input, Lilly
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,

There are certainly options to improve the wrinkles under your eyes and various chemical peels are possible. Don't stop with the neuromodulator (Botox), as if you are genetically prone to wrinkles and have a very active face, this will likely reduce the permanent wrinkling effect that will occur over time. Some young people have redundant skin or even muscle (orbicularis) on their lower eyelids just under the lashes and can benefit from a blepharoplasty. This doesn't have to be as extensive as a blepharoplasty on someone older. Consult with a plastic surgeon who offers all these treatments to get an unbiased opinion on what would be best for 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

Peels absolutely can greatly reduce eye wrinkles. I prefer the Phenol -Croton Oil peel but the TCA p[properly done is excellent also. Peels can be done much more cost efficient than Laser. Consult with an ELITE surgeon in your area. I have done wrinkle correction on 33 year olds and even 25 year olds so age is not an issue. REMEMBER THE WORD GET RID OF IS NOT APPROPRIATE HERE. GET GREAT IMPROVEMENT IS FINE. Also never forget Botox and Retin A considerations for eye area wrinkles. My Best, Dr C

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!Â

Treatments such as chemical peels and lasers are great for fine line improvement when done correctly by a licensed provider. Other procedures such as facial fat grafting can be very beneficial on skin that lacks elasticity and volume. Always consult with your aesthetician or doctor providing these treatments before deciding. It can be difficult to make an exact recommendation without seeing your "problem areas".

A chemical peel such as a TCA peel are better for texture, pigmenation and very fine wrinkling. A better procedure for tightening the skin is fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing such as SmartSkin or SmartXide. This will give you the best result with about the same amount of down time, 6 - 7 days, as a chemical peel.

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.

TCA peels work very well to improve laxity and wrinkles in the under eye region, though they are more superficial than phenol peels. With both, the texture of the undereye skin improves considerably; the latter is more effective, the former, however, is the safer option. You may need a series of peels with TCA to see and maintain good improvement.

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
