Get answers to common questions about ZO 3 step Peel.

The ZO 3-Step Peel addresses aging signs, sun damage, acne, melasma, enlarged pores, rough texture and uneven tone while stimulating collagen and improving overall skin health over a series of treatments.

Treatment number varies by concern and skin condition; many clients see improvement after one session, while moderate issues often require a series of 2–4 peels spaced weeks apart for optimal results.

Expect redness and peeling beginning within a few days and lasting three to seven days for most patients. Full recovery can take up to ten days depending on intensity and individual healing.

It can be used on darker skin with proper assessment and preconditioning. Our providers tailor concentrations and protocols, perform patch testing, and monitor closely to reduce pigment risks.

Avoid retinoids, aggressive exfoliants and prolonged sun exposure for one to two weeks; use recommended pre-treatment products, disclose medications, and follow your provider's instructions for best outcomes.

Follow a gentle cleansing and moisturizing routine, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen diligently, avoid picking or exfoliating, and use prescribed calming creams and retinol per your clinician's timeline.
