Dermatology Expertise in Periorbital Skin

Under-eye peel treatments are performed by trained dermatologists with specific experience in treating the sensitive periorbital skin safely and effectively.

Specialised Peel Formulations

Peel products and concentrations are carefully selected for use in the thinner, more sensitive under-eye area to ensure safe exfoliation and pigmentation improvement.

Targeted Pigmentation Treatment

Under eye peels specifically address the melanin-based component of dark circles, which is one of the most common and treatable causes of under-eye discolouration.

Personalised Peel Selection

The type, concentration, and frequency of peels are customised based on your skin tone, degree of pigmentation, and sensitivity level.

Minimal Downtime

Under-eye peels are generally superficial treatments that involve minimal recovery time compared to more invasive pigmentation treatments.

Effective as Part of a Broader Under-Eye Programme

Under eye peels are frequently combined with other under-eye treatments such as skin boosters or depigmentation products for a more comprehensive approach.

Under eye peels may be suitable for individuals with:

•   Melanin-based or pigmented dark circles
•   Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation around the eyes
•   Uneven under-eye skin tone or brownish discolouration
•   Superficial skin texture concerns in the periorbital area
•   Those seeking a non-injectable approach to pigmented dark circles
•   Patients with relatively lighter skin tones and melanin-dominant dark circles

A detailed under-eye assessment helps determine whether pigmentation is the primary cause of dark circles and whether under-eye peels are the most appropriate treatment option.

Under eye peels provide targeted benefits for pigmented dark circles and periorbital skin quality:

•   Reduces melanin-based dark circle pigmentation
•   Improves under-eye skin tone and evenness
•   Promotes shedding of pigmented superficial skin cells
•   Gentle exfoliation improves under-eye skin texture
•   Minimal downtime compared to ablative treatments
•   Progressive improvement with a course of sessions

Improvement in under-eye pigmentation is progressive and typically develops over a series of sessions spaced two to three weeks apart.

Before under eye peel treatment, an assessment of the under-eye area is performed to evaluate the cause and extent of pigmentation and determine the most appropriate peel formulation.

Avoid using retinoids, vitamin C, or strong exfoliating products in the eye area for at least three days before treatment. Inform your dermatologist of any prior history of contact dermatitis or sensitivity to skincare ingredients.

Sun protection before treatment is important, as sun exposure increases melanin activity and can reduce the effectiveness of depigmentation treatment.

Under eye peel treatment begins with gentle cleansing of the periorbital area. The peel solution is carefully applied to the under-eye skin at an appropriate distance from the lash line.

The peel is left on for a brief, precisely timed period before being neutralised or removed. Patients may experience mild tingling or warmth during the application.

The procedure takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. A soothing treatment is applied after peel removal to calm the skin.

After an under eye peel, mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area may be present for a few hours. Some mild flaking or peeling may develop over the following days as the superficial skin cells shed.

Avoid rubbing or touching the treated area. Do not use harsh products or active skincare in the under-eye area during the recovery period.

Sun protection is essential. A series of four to six sessions is typically recommended for meaningful improvement in under-eye pigmentation.

Under eye peels are considered safe for the periorbital area when performed by trained dermatologists using appropriate formulations and concentrations.

Temporary redness, mild peeling, or skin sensitivity may occur after treatment. The risk of adverse effects is minimised by using specially adapted formulations for the under-eye area.

Incorrect peel selection or concentration for the sensitive under-eye skin can cause irritation or pigmentation changes. A thorough assessment and selection of appropriate peel by a qualified dermatologist is essential.

The cost of under eye peel treatment in Delhi depends on the type of peel used and the number of sessions required for the desired improvement.

Most patients require a course of four to six sessions for progressive reduction in under-eye pigmentation.

A cost estimate will be provided during the under-eye consultation based on the recommended peel protocol.
