Is chemical peel advised for pigmentation?

ruviv
I am 47 years old and under treatment for SLE since the last 5 years. My face has a lot of pigmentation and uneven skin color. My rheumatologist referred me to a dermatologist who advised that a medication I am taking for lupus- Planquinil could be causing that and advised me to go for a chemical peel. Will that help with my pigmentation and skin tone? And is it safe ?
