title: Chemical peeling of eyelids and periorbital area.
abstract: Chemical peeling promotes formation of new epidermis and new dermal collagen, resulting in skin shrinkage, reduction of wrinkling and crepe paper skin, softening of crow's feet, and, when desired, lightened eyelid color. Chemical peeling may be performed as the only eyelid procedure, simultaneously with CO2 laser surgical blepharoplasty, after healing of cold-steel-scalpel or CO2-laser blepharoplasty, and as a repeated procedure to achieve maximal results.
