What is Medical Chemical Peel by ZO Skin Health?

Achieve healthy, beautiful skin with our range of medical chemical from ZO® Skin Health. These popular treatments can help you you treat a variety of skin issues, including sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, poor texture, and acne scarring. They effectively remove the outermost layer of skin, leaving fresh skin to flourish underneath. They are available in a variety of strengths and can be added to an existing skincare regimen or enjoyed as a one-off treat.

At present, we currently offer two medical peels from the premium skincare brand ZO® Skin Health:

The ZO 3-Step Deep Medical Peel This is a strong-strength peel, which is available in Supreme or Essential packages. It offers a wide range of anti-ageing benefits as well as repairing skin texture and correcting pigmentation. It can also be excellent for treating conditions such as acne.

The ZO Stimulator Peel Hailed the “red carpet peel”, this is a mild-strength peel that you can get in your lunchtime. It improves skin tone and texture and has zero downtime.

Whatever your skin concerns, our skin therapist will discuss them with you during your no-obligation consultation and help you decide whether chemical peels are a good fit for you.

How does it work?

Medical chemical peel essentially remove impurities and imperfections in the top layer of your skin, while stimulating the production of fresh, new skin underneath. This is the most basic way in which any peel works.

We currently offer two peels from ZO Skin Health, which are best suited for different needs (see below). Before any treatment, your skin will be properly assessed by our qualified skin therapist and in some cases your skin will need to be prepped with a medical course of crème prior to the peel. The best treatment for you will be discussed during your initial consultation.

The ZO 3-Step Deep Medical Peel

The ZO 3-Step Deep Medical Peel is a premium, high-strength peel that is performed in three key stages. It is ideal for skin problems such as acne, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, texture roughness, large pores, and dullness.

During the first stage, a blend of acids is used to remove the outer layer of skin (the epidermis). Saponins (a class of chemical compound) minimise skin reactions while glycerine improves skin hydration.

The second stage uses a six-percent retinol crème to stimulate collagen production, trigger cellular renewal, and provide antioxidant benefits.

During the final stage, a special calming crème is used to relieve irritation and redness and restore moisture balance. Your final outcome is skin that looks and feels softer and smoother, and is greatly replenished.

The ZO Stimulator Peel

The ZO Stimulator is a mild-strength peel that doesn’t work as deeply as the ZO 3-Step Deep Medical Peel, but still leaves you with visibly brighter and much fresher skin. Its main advantage is that it can be performed in a lunchtime. It has ZERO downtime and there is no peeling or flaking afterwards. It utilises a combination of alpha-hydroxy acids (citric, glycolic and lactic) to exfoliate the epidermis (the skin’s outer layer) and promote skin renewal, meaning that your complexion continues to blossom after treatment.

The ZO Stimulator Peel is sometimes referred to as the “red carpet peel” because you can have the treatment right before a big event with no flaking and an instant glow!

How long does the treatment take to work?

Each Medical Chemical Peel is slightly different. The ZO 3-Step Deep Medical Peel results in a few days of shedding while fresh new skin begins to flourish below. Typically, you should see final results around 28 days after treatment.

The ZO Stimulator Peel leaves you with an instant glow, which can remain for up to seven days following treatment. However, you can expect a more optimal outcome if your skin is already in a healthy condition and you follow a good skincare regimen at home.

In both cases, our skin therapist will discuss the expected outcomes with you, and advise on aftercare and skincare regimens for home.

What is the downtime?

With the ZO 3-Step Deep Medical Peel, your skin will be tender and will begin to shed about three days after treatment. This can last up to the tenth day post-treatment. Deeper peels will always result in a few days of shedding and leave your skin reddened, so you may need to consider your schedule when booking.

The ZO Stimulator Peel has no downtime. It is therefore perfect for lunchtime visits and for looking luminous and refreshed at red carpet events.

The best peel for you will be discussed during your initial consultation.

Does it hurt?

There is no pain associated with medical chemical peel of a mild strength. There will likely be some tingling or warming sensations during the strong peels, but these will be suppressed by air cooling mechanisms during the procedure in order to ease discomfort. Your skin will also feel sore and tender for several days after the strong peel.
