Before Your ZO® 3-Step Peel
- You’ll pre-condition your skin with ZO® medical-grade skincare for about 6 weeks before the peel. This helps even your pigment and boosts results.
- Avoid sunburns or tanning beds for 2 weeks before treatment and wear SPF 30+ daily.
- Pause retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and exfoliating scrubs for 5–7 days prior unless your provider says otherwise.
- Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, lotion, SPF, or self-tanner on your face.
- Tell us about cold sores, active breakouts, pregnancy, or recent facial procedures. We’ll make sure you’re cleared.
After Your Peel
- Expect visible peeling/flaking for 5–7 days as dull, damaged skin sheds and brighter skin comes forward. This is normal.
- Do not pick or peel the skin. Let it lift on its own — picking can cause dark marks or scarring.
- Keep it bland: use only the post-peel kit and gentle moisturizer your provider recommends. Avoid actives (retinoids, acids, scrubs) until cleared.
- Absolutely avoid direct sun and heat (workouts, saunas, hot yoga) for the first 48 hours. Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every single day.
- Makeup: Usually OK after 24 hours if the skin is intact and not raw — stick to clean, non-irritating formulas.
ZO® 3-Step Peel FAQs
It combines controlled chemical exfoliation plus targeted anti-aging and
pigment-balancing ingredients. Most people see brighter tone, more even pigment,
smoother texture, and softer fine lines once peeling is complete.
Plan for 5–7 days of visible peeling and dryness. You can usually
work and run errands, but the skin will look flaky and feel tight for several
days. Most people feel “socially ready” at about day 5–6.
You’ll feel heat or stinging during application — most clients describe it as
“spicy” but tolerable. We’ll neutralize and layer calming products right away.
Great for melasma, sun damage, acne discoloration, rough texture, and fine lines.
If you’re pregnant, nursing, have open lesions, or you’re on certain medications,
we’ll recommend a gentler option instead.
Most clients look noticeably brighter and more even once the peeling phase
finishes — usually by day 7. Tone, pigment, and texture continue to refine over
the next few weeks as new skin fully reveals.
