As all chemical peels can vary in their intensity, it is important to choose one that you feel is right for your skin. Formulated by world-renowned skin expert, Dr. Zein Obagi, the ZO Stimulator Peel can be categorised as a superficial peel, which means that it will only focus on the gentle exfoliation of the top layer of skin, otherwise known as the epidermis. When applied, this milder form of peel works to treat a number of common skin complaints such as acne, pigmentation and age spots and is unrivalled in its ability to strip away dead skin cells, stimulate cell turnover to improve skin tone, and texture and clarity, and leave patients with a healthy glow - perfect for the red carpet or that big night out! This peel is affectionately known as the “Red Carpet Peel” owing to the number of celebrities that avail of it before they have to look picture perfect for red carpet events, and can’t afford to hide away with the redness of flaking that some peels cause. Basically, there is no downtime, peeling or redness afterwards, just glowing, healthy skin. The perfect lunchtime peel – with no downtime and added anti-irritants and antioxidants, this advanced peel solution is gentle enough for all skin types. This peel is also recommended for individuals starting on a new ZO® Skincare regimen to jumpstart exfoliation and allow for deeper product penetration.
WHAT IS ZO STIMULATOR PEEL? HOW DOES IT WORK?
The ZO Stimulator Peel is made up of a combination of acids – Citric Acid, Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid that can have many positive effects on the condition of the skin. These powerful ingredients are capable of brightening the appearance and clearing away the unwanted debris that accumulates on the skin over time, setting the stage for a complexion that radiates confidence and one completely unmatched in its smoothness.
In terms of your treatment, we will ensure that your face is thoroughly cleansed before we apply this peel to your skin. This peel will be left in place for 2-3 minutes before a neutralising solution is used to balance your skin’s pH level and a selection of products tailored to your skin concerns is applied to ensure that your skin remains fully hydrated and protected following your treatment.The peel can be customised to your skin concerns – with ingredients specific for acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation or signs of ageing - plus potent concentrations of other active ingredients to exfoliate the skin, stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin and reduce lines, wrinkles and other blemishes.
