What ZO 3-Step Peel is

A retinol-based, multi-step peel protocol for carefully selected patients who want texture and tone renewal from a clinically-driven system rather than a single-application peel. This one asks more of you, prep beforehand and a real recovery window, in exchange for a deeper reset.

How it works

The three-step sequence layers a retinol-based solution with supporting steps that prep and calm the skin, working over a longer arc than a single-visit peel to drive deeper renewal.

The procedure, step by step

Your provider confirms candidacy and reviews the prep routine you will follow at home before the in-office application. The visit itself runs about 30 to 45 minutes.

What to expect after

Peeling is more pronounced and lasts longer than a light peel, often close to a week, and is a normal part of this specific protocol, not a sign anything went wrong.

Results and maintenance

Renewed texture and tone that emerge as the skin completes its cycle, one of the deeper resets on our peel menu, with results and timeline that vary by individual.

Care and limits, honestly

Following the pre- and post-care routine exactly is not optional here, skipping steps changes both the result and the risk. Not for pregnancy, active infection or skin that has not been properly prepped.
