Do chemical peels work for deep vertical lines around the mouth?

Certain medium to deep chemical peels can be effective for deep vertical lines. I would only go to a board-certified dermatologist who personally performs her/his own peels, is experienced in performing these peels and does quite a bit of them, to avoid serious side effects. Otherwise, one can consider laser resurfacing with a fractionated CO2.

Chemical peels can help fine lines and wrinkles, but deeper lines may need something more aggressive, such as fillers. A photo would help.

Deep chemical peels with TCA may improve the deep wrinkles around the mouth. I would suggest having these done after skin prepping and an indepth consultation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
