What's a safe percentage TCA peel to do for under eyes and eye lids, if at all possible?

Question

I did my first TCA peel three weeks ago at 13% on my face and I loved it. My eye area I feel could use more attention and I am aware to be extremely careful with TCA around the eyes. I have researched so much on TCA chemical peels and am planning on doing four more sessions at two layers (maybe more layers over time). I have light crows feet but I have hooded eyelids and saggy under eyes. I am 30 years old and of Mexican decent so I have pretty tan/dark skin.

Thank you for your question
Botox can be used to improve wrinkles around the eye. Deeper wrinkles need a combination approach with Botox and lasers, microneedling/prp and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

HI,If your concern is hooded eyelids and saggy lower eyes, your best option may not be chemical peels.   I would not advise doing TCA peels on your own.  Glytone makes a eye/lip peel that is available to medical professionals which contains TCA.  Please seek the consultation of a professional aesthetic/cosmetic provider and see what options are presented to you to address your concerns.Best,Dr. Huo

Given your skin type, 20-30% TCA single coat COULD be a possible option. Be guided by your PS or dermatologist. Recovery is 6-8 days. Best to pre and post treat your skin to reduce PIH. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
