ZO® Stimulator Chemical Peel

Known as a “lunchtime” peel because the procedure can be completed in about 30 minutes and doesn’t require any downtime, the ZO Stimulator peel is the newest addition to the family of peels from Dr. Zein Obagi. The peel combines salicylic, lactic, and citric acids to exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate cellular turnover, improving the skin’s texture and appearance. It’s appropriate for any skin type or color and can treat:

​

• Melasma

• Sun damage

• Fine lines

• Large pores

• Acne

​

Even though no downtime is needed following a ZO Stimulator peel, you can expect minimal swelling (if any) and some slight redness for a few hours. You can apply makeup immediately after the treatment. We recommend scheduling a series of treatments to get the desired results.

ZO® 3-Step Peel

This effective, versatile procedure is an excellent option for treating acne, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores, and rough skin. Patients of all skin types and tones can benefit from the 3-step peel, which begins with exfoliation by applying a solution that blends salicylic acid, TCA, and lactic acid.

​

The second step involves applying a retinol crème to stimulate the production of collagen and enhance cellular renewal, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and firming your skin. The application of a calming crème during the third step rapidly relieves skin irritation and redness while also re-balancing vital moisture content and improving the skin’s barrier function.

​

Even though the 3-step peel is most often used to improve the appearance of facial skin, it’s effective when used on the neck, legs, arms, hands, or chest. No matter the treatment area, you’ll notice immediately that your skin is tighter, smoother, and brighter. A series of treatment sessions promote optimal results.
