Chemical Peels
ZO® 3 - STEP PEEL™
An innovative, in-office treatment peel followed by an at-home treatment to help with the signs of aging, including fine lines, roughness and skin discoloration. After the procedure, skin has a fresh and glowing appearance. The benefits continue over subsequent months as the skin remodels and makes collagen.
How is the procedure performed?
Step 1: Peel Solution is applied to your skin with 17% salicylic acid, 10% TCA and 5% lactic acid to remove the outer most layer of skin (the epidermis).
Step 2: Retinol Crème (6%) is then applied to your skin. Application of this following the superficial peel allows the retinol to penetrate to the deeper parts of your skin where it is needed to stimulate your cells to turn over resulting in wrinkle reduction, improvement of irregular pigmentation, and firming and toning. The retinol cream also contains ubiquinone, which stimulates cellular renewal, marrubium vulgare and leontopodium alpinum meristem, which are powerful antioxidants, beta-glycan, which protects your DNA, and myristoyl tripeptide to boost collagen to reduce wrinkles.
Step 3: Calming Crème – Post Procedure Skin Relief is applied to relieve irritation and restore moisture balance. This crème includes agents to increase hyaluronic acid and collagen production as well as improve the barrier function of your skin. The crème also contains powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents to soothe and protect your skin.
