It's doubtful a chemical peel will change the color of the lips. I suggest a formal consultation and then proceed with the best fit.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

It is safe to have microdermabrasion or a chemical peel 3 months after Lasik Eye.I recommend an Opti-Ceramide cream called Elevase after chemical peels or microdermabrasion for deep hydration and moisturization of the skin.BestH Karamanoukian MD FACS

I recommend that you get on a daily skin regimen to reduce the hyperpigmentation. Either the Brightening Kit from Kare Skin orMelarase AM with PIH Relief Complex (see link below).BestH Karamanoukian MD FACS
