ZO Skin Health 3-Step Peel
The ZO 3-Step Peel is a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel by ZO Skin Health that exfoliates, stimulates collagen, and calms skin, treating pigmentation, texture, pores, and aging signs. It involves an in-office peel solution (salicylic, lactic, TCA acids) followed by a take-home 6% Retinol Cream and a Calming Cream, leading to noticeable peeling and flaking over several days, revealing smoother, brighter skin. It requires skin prep and post-care to reduce downtime and enhance results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it called a 3 Step Peel?
- Step 1 (In-Office): A blend of exfoliants (salicylic, lactic, TCA) removes damaged outer skin layers, improving tone and texture.
- Step 2 (At-Home): A 6% Retinol Crème is applied to stimulate deep skin renewal, collagen, and firmness.
- Step 3 (At-Home): A Calming Crème with antioxidants soothes irritation, restores moisture, and supports healing.
Is the ZO 3 Step Peel painful?
Not at all. The treatment itself is not uncomfortable and neither is the peeling process. You may feel itchy during the peel but can apply ZO Hydrating Creme to alleviate any discomfort.
Can I add the ZO 3-step peel to another procedure?
We highly recommend adding the ZO 3 Step Peel to the Moxi Laser treatment.
What is the down time for the ZO 3-Step Peel
Expect about a week of downtime. Substantial peeling on days 3-5. Possible purging can occur. Skin preparation can help minimize downtime when being pretreated with medical grade skin care.
What kind of results can I expect from the ZO 3-Step Peel?
Healthy, glowing and smooth skin. Refreshed, rested and bright.
How can I manage the peeling?
