ZO® Retinol-Based Peels

ZO® Retinol Stimulation Peel

This potent anti-aging solution uses 1% retinol combined with antioxidants to refine pores, smooth roughness, and improve elasticity — all without extensive downtime. Applied at home for 3–5 days under our guidance, it promotes cell renewal and a visibly firmer complexion.

Ideal for:

• Fine lines
• Uneven skin texture
• Surface damage
• Enlarged pores

At-Home Gentle Peel Options

ZO® Invisapeel

Perfect for sensitive or younger skin, the Invisapeel is an enzyme-based exfoliant that provides results without visible peeling. It enhances product absorption, refines texture, and soothes sun-exposed or flaky skin — a great complement to ZO® Skincare routines.

Key ingredients:

• Papain and bromelain enzymes
• Glycolic acid

Use it up to 3 times per week, depending on skin strength, with the guidance of our aesthetician.

In-Office Medical-Grade Peels

ZO® 3-Step Peel

Combining salicylic, TCA, lactic acids, and 6% retinol, this clinical peel penetrates beyond the surface to stimulate collagen, fade discoloration, and firm lax skin. Most clients see optimal results with a series of four treatments spaced several weeks apart.

Benefits include:

• Smoother tone and texture
• Reduced wrinkles
• Antioxidant protection
• Stronger skin barrier

ZO® Controlled Depth Peel

Reserved for severe pigmentation, melasma, or sun-damaged skin, this deep resurfacing treatment uses TCA and requires downtime. Performed under light IV sedation, it's ideal for long-term improvements in tone, texture, and firmness.
