About

The ZO® 3-Step Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel designed by Dr. Zein Obagi to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity.

Personal Consultation with our Skin Experts

Our skin experts will assess your skin’s condition and goals to determine if the ZO 3-Step Peel is right for you. With advanced skincare knowledge and a gentle touch, we’ll help you plan for both treatment and the home-care needed to ensure optimal results.

Preparation

• Stop use of retinoids, acids, or exfoliating products 5–7 days prior
• Avoid waxing or aggressive facial treatments before the peel
• Use recommended ZO skincare to prep skin for at least 4 weeks prior to peel
• We will provide you with detailed pre and post-care instructions upon booking

Procedure

The peel is performed in three steps:

1. Exfoliation: A blend of 10% TCA, salicylic, and lactic acid is applied to the skin to remove the outer layers.
2. Stimulation: A 6% retinol crème boosts deeper cell turnover and collagen stimulation.
3. Calming: A soothing, antioxidant-rich post-treatment cream is applied to restore balance and protect the skin.

The treatment takes approximately 30–45 minutes.

Recovery

You may experience redness, tightness, and visible peeling for 5–7 days. This is a normal and expected part of the renewal process. Avoid sun exposure and follow the post-care instructions closely to ensure safe healing and beautiful results.

Results

Once peeling is complete, skin appears noticeably smoother, brighter, and more even. With continued use of ZO skincare and maintenance peels every few months, results continue to build over time.

Complementary Treatments
