I am 25 years old and recently, while looking at my face under a magnifying mirror, I noticed that I had two very fine lines underneath my right eye. They weren't noticeable at all but knowing I had them bothered me so I decided to get a 30% TCA peel underneath my eyes. After the peel, my lines are WORSE. You couldn't see them before (only in the magnifying mirror) but now they are deeper and are noticeable in plain sight! Can a TCA peel cause this? What can I do to fix this?!

I have not heard of BensiPeel, however, I do know that chemical peels no matter how strong, will not improve upon these types of deeper lines. I suggest a series of microneedling with PRP, and/or fillers.
Hope this helps,
