Our ZO Chemical Peel treatments are designed to deliver visible results after just one session, with improvements that continue to develop as your skin regenerates. Most clients enjoy a fresher, more radiant complexion that lasts 4–6 weeks, especially when combined with a personalised skincare routine.
The ZO Chemical Peel is suitable for all skin types, even for those new to chemical peels. The treatment utilises an advanced blend of AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) to address fine lines, dullness, rough texture, and uneven skin tone, leaving your complexion refreshed and radiant with no downtime.
A ZO Chemical Peel treatment at our London clinic typically takes around 30–45 minutes, making it the perfect facial for those with busy schedules. Known as a “lunchtime peel,” it provides powerful skin rejuvenation without the extended recovery associated with deep peels.
During this time, our practitioner will cleanse the skin and apply the tailored acid peel solution (which may include ingredients like salicylic acid or glycolic acid).
Because the treatment is efficient yet effective, many clients fit it into their day just like a standard skin peel appointment. You’ll be able to return to normal activities almost immediately, with only minimal redness or peeling afterwards.
One of the main advantages of a ZO Chemical Peel treatment at our London clinic is the minimal recovery period compared to more deep peels.
Makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours, and because this is considered a superficial peel, you won’t need to take any time off work or social activities. The gentle yet effective acid peel formula is designed to work across all skin types, giving visible results without harsh downtime.
While redness is minimal, we advise avoiding facials, saunas, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours post-treatment. Your practitioner will also provide tailored aftercare instructions to support optimal skin peel recovery.
A ZO Chemical Peel is a versatile peel treatment suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns. It is ideal for individuals looking to improve the appearance of acne, dullness, rough texture, uneven skin tone, or early signs of aging such as fine lines.
Because it is considered a superficial to medium-depth peel, it is gentle enough for first-time peel patients while still delivering noticeable results.
During your consultation at our London clinic, your practitioner will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable chemical peel treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, and recovery preferences. This makes the ZO peel an excellent choice for those wanting professional results with minimal disruption to daily life.
While many clients notice an immediate improvement in radiance and smoothness after just one ZO Chemical Peel treatment, the best results are typically achieved with a course of treatments. At our London clinic, we usually recommend 3–6 peel sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, to target concerns such as acne, pigmentation, fine lines, or uneven texture.
Because ZO peels are available in varying strengths, from superficial peels to medium-depth peels, your practitioner will design a personalised plan to gradually enhance your results while minimising recovery time. For more intensive concerns, such as deeper pigmentation or acne scarring, a combination of treatments may be recommended.
Once you’ve completed your course, occasional maintenance peels (often every 6–8 weeks) help prolong the results and keep your skin looking bright, refreshed, and healthy. Combining your peel treatments with a tailored ZO Skin Health regimen at home will further improve and extend your results.
The results of a ZO Chemical Peel treatment typically last 4–6 weeks, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and at-home skincare routine. Many clients notice an immediate improvement in brightness and smoothness, with full benefits developing over several days as the skin undergoes natural peeling and renewal.
To maintain results, we recommend regular skin peels every 6–8 weeks or as advised by your practitioner. Pairing your treatments with a personalised ZO Skin Health regimen enhances cell turnover and helps prolong the benefits of your chemical peel.
For clients addressing concerns such as acne, pigmentation, or visible signs of aging, a course of chemical peel treatments combined with medical-grade skincare often provides the most effective and lasting outcome.
A ZO Chemical Peel treatment not considered painful. During the application of the acid peel solution, you may feel a mild tingling, warming, or stinging sensation. This is a sign that the active ingredients are working to exfoliate the skin.
Because this treatment is classed as a superficial to medium-depth peel, discomfort is minimal compared to more deep peels or aggressive peels. Any sensations usually subside within a few minutes, and cooling measures can be applied to keep you comfortable throughout the process.
At our London clinic, we ensure every client’s experience is as relaxing as possible. The treatment is quick, lasting around 30–45 minutes, and there is little to no recovery time, making it a popular choice for those new to chemical peel treatments or for clients looking for visible results without downtime.
Yes! A ZO Chemical Peel can be safely combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance results. Many clients choose to pair their peel treatments with options such as microneedling or advanced facials to achieve a more comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan.
Because the ZO peel is a superficial to medium-depth peel with minimal recovery time, it often complements other procedures without significant downtime. Your practitioner will design a personalised plan based on your skin concerns.
Combining treatments not only maximises results but also extends the benefits of your ZO peel, especially when paired with a tailored ZO Skin Health at-home regimen.
After your ZO Chemical Peel treatment, proper aftercare is essential to maximise results. For the first few days, your skin may experience mild peeling, flaking, or redness. This is completely normal as the old skin sheds to reveal a fresher, healthier complexion.
