Reveal Radiant Skin with the ZO® 3-Step Peel
What to Know Before You Book
If you’re looking for a game-changing skincare treatment that goes beyond surface-level results, the ZO® 3-Step Peel might be exactly what your skin needs. This medical-grade peel is designed to address a variety of common skin concerns, including fine lines, melasma, acne scars, and dullness, making it one of the most effective in-office peels available today.
So what makes it different from the average chemical peel? Let’s break it down.
How the ZO® 3-Step Peel Works
The power of this treatment lies in its multi-step process:
- Exfoliate – The peel begins with a powerful combination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, and lactic acid to remove dead skin cells and smooth the surface.
- Stimulate – Next comes the retinol-based cream, which penetrates deeper into the skin to encourage collagen production and improve tone, texture, and firmness.
- Calm – Finally, a specially formulated soothing cream is applied to reduce redness and support your skin’s natural healing.
This triple-action process doesn’t just make your skin look refreshed; it promotes long-term skin health from the inside out.

What Skin Concerns Does It Address?
The ZO® 3-Step Peel is ideal for anyone dealing with:
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Melasma and uneven skin tone
- Acne or acne scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores and rough texture
It’s safe for all skin types and tones, but a consultation is always recommended to determine if it’s right for your individual goals.
What to Expect from the Process
Before your appointment, you’ll prep your skin with a medical-grade retinol for 4–6 weeks. This helps your skin respond more effectively to the treatment and enhances the overall results.
After the peel is applied in-office, you’ll begin to see visible changes within a few days. Most patients experience peeling, redness, and flaking from days 2–7 as your skin sheds the damaged outer layers.
Don’t worry, it’s all part of the process. Your Elevate provider will give you a post-care guide and products to make the healing period as smooth as possible.
