Can a chemical peel remove the superficial dark area on my upper lip?

Thaley91
I have slight darkness that resembles a moustache on my upper lip and makes me look manly in my opinion and several family members have also commented on it. Can a peel get rid of this? If so what kind? It's not severe as you see in my pics but it's still bothersome and I just want all my skin smooth and even and glowing- not all except this random grayish black stripe above my lip
