ZO Restorative Peel by Dr Zein Obagi MD – For Sensitive, Weak/Fragile Skin
Dr Obagi created the ZO Restorative Peel in 2024. This peel is extremely gentle on the skin and is great for restoring and hydrating dull, dry skin with redness and imperfections.
This peel contains a unique blend of alpha hydroxy acids (lactic, citric, and mandelic acid) to provide gentle surface exfoliation, instantly improving skin’s luminosity, texture, and tone for a restored complexion. It is appropriate for all skin types, especially dull, dry, weak, and redness-prone skin. It is also a good choice for sensitive acne-prone skin.
What happens during the ZO Restorative Peel?
Your skin will be cleansed using the appropriate cleanser from the ZO range to remove any makeup or oil. This is followed by ZO Exfoliating Polish and Polish Activator and ZO Peel Prep Solution to prepare the skin for the Peel.
The peel is then applied and left on for two to four minutes before neutralising Peel Neutraliser pads, which restores the skin’s pH.
A Brightening or Hydrating Medical mask is applied to boost your skin further.
The final step is using ZO Daily Power Defence moisturising serum and ZO Ommerse Renewal Cream to hydrate and protect your skin.
The active peel solution may cause some superficial peeling and slight initial reddening. However, the treatment exposes a new layer of healthy, undamaged skin, resulting in a smoother texture and even skin tone.
What are the benefits of the ZO Restorative Peel?
Instantly improving skin’s luminosity.
Improves skin texture and tone.
Soften fine lines and wrinkles.
Stimulate the production of collagen for firmer, more youthful skin.
Stimulate the growth of healthy cells while you shed damaged skin.
Improves dull, dry and redness-prone skin
Suitable for sensitive acne-prone skin
Treats mild acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Reduces pore size.
Improves the efficacy of skincare products.
No downtime.
Immediate results.
Who should (and should not) have the ZO Restorative Peel?
This peel is recommended for adults with dull, dry, and redness-prone skin and sensitive acne-prone skin that needs restoration.
We do not recommend the peel for those who are:
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Using Roaccutane or prescription retinoids
Having radiation or chemotherapy
Allergic to lactic, citric, and mandelic acids
Do I need to prepare my skin before the peel?
You do not need to perform any preparation or use any specific skin care before the ZO Restorative Peel. However, you will get better results if you use some ZO products before the treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment will take about 45 minutes.
You will notice the results immediately. Your skin will be fresher, glowing, and with improved texture and tone. We recommend a course of treatments for optimum results.
How long before I see results?
Most people will see an improvement in their skin after just one peel. However, we recommend a course of 3 to 4 Peels, 4-6 weeks apart for maximum benefit.
Maintenance
Ideally, every four months or before special events.
Enhance the results of your ZO Restorative Peel.
An additional ZO Mask can be added to your Restorative Peel to enhance the results for your skin. If you opt for one of these, your treatment time will be 10 minutes longer :
ZO Hydra Mask
Other ZO Hydra massage gel and mask ingredients make this ideal for dry, dehydrated or weak skin.
ZO Brightening Mask
A ZO Brightening mask and a brightening massage cream make this ideal for sun-damaged skin with age spots and pigmentation.
ZO Complexion Clearing Masque
Containing eucalyptus and kaolin for antiseptic and detoxifying benefits.

Cheshire Lasers’ Patient Information for Neogen Plasma Treatments
Please read the following information before any Neogen Plasma treatment at Cheshire Lasers. It is important you follow the advice given for optimal results and to reduce the risk of unwanted reactions.
How should I prepare for my Neogen Plasma Treatment?
Three weeks before the procedure
Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning for at least three weeks
Use a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30+ zinc oxide or titanium dioxide-based sunblock to the treatment areas
Additional sun protective measures such as a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and sun-protective clothing
Consider starting a collagen or amino acid supplement for skin to enhance the results and make sure your body has all the nutrients required for optimum results.
One week before the procedure
Avoid all Exfoliants (scrubs, washes and other treatments that remove the outermost part of the skin)
Avoid products with AHAs, BHA and PHAs
Avoid all products with retinol, retinals, and tretinoin.
Avoid fake tan
Five days before treatment

Drink a minimum of 2 litres of water per day
Avoid food and drinks that cause dehydration e.g alcohol
Consider taking an electrolyte supplement to ensure maximum hydration
The evening/day before the appointment,
Remove all hair from the treatment area
Do not take anti-inflammatories or antihistamines, as they will reduce the results of your treatment.
On the day of the treatment
Please don’t wear any makeup.
Do not use mascara
No perfume or cologne near the treatment area
Contact lenses
You must remove contact lenses before treatment. You can reinsert the immediately after.
What to Expect During Your Neogen Treatment
Before your Neogen treatment, we ask that you attend a consultation with one of our specialists. They will assess your skin and create a treatment plan to suit your needs.
During the procedure, the practitioner will use the plasma device to deliver controlled energy to the treatment area, creating a warming sensation as the nitrogen plasma works its magic.
Sometimes, we will apply a topical anaesthetic, but this is only necessary if you are opting for a deeper treatment. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, sessions usually last between 30 minutes to an hour.
After treatment, we will give you some products to use on your skin for the next few days to ensure you avoid any products that may irritate or delay the healing process.
Neogen Plasma Post-treatment Advice
Avoid Sun Exposure for four weeks after treatment.
Allow the peeling to occur naturally. Do not pick! Picking may result in an infection or scar.
Do Not apply any moisturiser until advised ( this depends on the level of your treatment), as applying hydrating products too early delays the peeling process.
For the first 24 hours:
Like a mild sunburn, your skin may feel warm and pink for several hours. It will be fragile, so treat it gently.
For all levels of treatment:
Do not cleanse the treated area for 24 hours.
Skin to be kept dry
Always wash your hands thoroughly using antibacterial soap before touching treated areas
Flaking Phase
Low Energy Treatments
Immediately after treatment, you will feel like you have a mild sunburn; your skin may feel warm and look pink for several hours. It will be fragile, so treat it gently.
You may need two, occasionally three days of recovery time with minimal, if any, skin peeling /flakiness.
After low-energy treatment, the skin must be kept dry for 24 hours.
After this period, you can use a mild water-based cleanser.
The old skin will come off as you wash your face; however, you may not be aware of it.
Avoid going outside the day after treatment to prevent exposing your skin to the sun.
We will provide you with the following aftercare:
A mild cleanser to use for the first few days after treatment.
All Skin Med Regenerating Growth factor serum ampules to apply for the day of treatment and the 2-3 days
All Skin Med Replenishing Cream to apply from day 3 unless you have some peeling. In which case, apply when peeling has almost completed.
Mineral SPF 50 to apply every day to protect the skin from the sun.
You can return to your usual skin routine 3-4 days after your skin has fully recovered.
You can apply makeup once your skin has recovered, usually on day three or four.
Mid-level Energy Treatment
There will be a recovery time of two to five days, with more noticeable skin flaking and peeling.
The skin will generally start to flake within two to five days.
Allow the skin to peel before applying moisturiser/rehydration unless it persists for a few days.
Apply a mild moisturiser or rehydration gel once the peeling is close to completion. Applying a moisturiser too soon can delay the peeling.
We will provide you with the following aftercare:
A mild cleanser to use for 7 days after treatment.
All Skin Med Regenerating Growth factor serum ampules to apply for the day of treatment and the 4-5 days
All Skin Med Replenishing Cream to apply from day 4 or 5, unless you have some peeling. In which case, apply when peeling has almost completed.
Mineral SPF 50 to apply every day to protect the skin from the sun.
You can return to your usual skin routine 5 days after your skin has fully recovered.
You can apply makeup once your skin is less sensitive, usually on day three or four.
Allow the peeling to occur naturally. Do not pick! Picking may result in an infection or scar.
High-Level Energy Treatment
Seven to ten days recovery time with skin peeling from day nine. The treatment area will appear red or sometimes darker for several days. You may also notice some swelling
Your practitioner might apply a barrier cream to the treated area to keep the skin moist normally; you should leave this on for 24 hours. After this, you may cleanse and reapply the barrier cream for 2 or 3 days, twice a day,
During the recovery time:
Do not use anti-ageing/exfoliating/harsh products
Avoid unintentional touching of the treated areas, such as rubbing your eyes
It is important that the treated skin is left in place until it is ready to flake.
Avoid exercise where skin may become flushed or sweaty
Avoid any hot or cold environments, e.g. sauna
Avoid contact with pets in the treatment area
Start to use a mild cleanser only when instructed.
Try to sleep on your back following treatment of the face. Using extra pillows can help
For higher-intensity treatments, change the pillowcase daily until you have healed.
Contact Cheshire Lasers if you have continued pain, blistering, oozing or concerns about itching in the treated area
After flaking
After your skin has flaked, it is important to resume the use of a zinc oxide or titanium dioxide-based SPF 30+ sunblock to decrease the possibility of hyperpigmentation
Resume use of a high-quality mild moisturiser.
New skin will have formed underneath the layer of treated skin that flakes this will be fragile and must be treated gently.
It is normal for the skin to have lighter and darker areas as it heals.
This is usually temporary and will fade within approximately 1 – 6 months.
The treated area will most likely heal without any pigment changes.
When can I return to make-up or shaving and activities:
It will generally be 2 to 3 days after treatment before you can apply makeup or shave. This will depend on whether you had a low-energy or high-energy treatment.
We will advise you about this at your consultation.
What possible reactions may I experience after a Neogen Plasma Treatment?
Cheshire Lasers has provided the information above to reduce the risk of unwanted reactions from your Neogen Plasma Treatment.
It is extremely important you follow our advice to reduce the risk of complications from the Neogen treatment.
Common skin reactions depending on the depth and intensity of your treatment include:
Temporary swelling
Mild acne flare

Cheshire Lasers Shares Their Quest to Improve Under-Eye Wrinkles:
Cheshire Lasers continues to invest in the latest under-eye treatments. Improving this area is challenging, and the results can be disappointing. We have so many successful solutions for treating or improving other areas of the face. However, the under-eye area has a different story.
Over the years, Cheshire Lasers has invested in numerous treatments and machines, seeking the latest and best treatment for under-eye wrinkles. Sadly, many of them have not fully met our expectations. The treatments either don’t deliver consistently high-quality results for everyone, or they cause too much downtime or discomfort. This does not mean they do not work, because they do, but the results don’t work well for everyone or don’t meet the client’s expectations.
The more aggressive treatments work the best, but some of them can leave you bruised for a week or more, especially when a course of treatments is required.
Which treatments can improve under-eye wrinkles?
Cheshire Lasers offers all of the following Under Eye Treatments.
Most people have heard of Botox; it is excellent for treating dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive muscle movement. Botox works by temporarily paralysing the muscles that create your wrinkles and fine lines. Treatment of these muscles relaxes them and softens the wrinkles.
Botox is very effective at muscle relaxation (it starts working within a few days), and as long as you do your research and go to a recommended experienced medical practitioner, you won’t end up with the ‘frozen face’ you see in some celebrities.
Botox helps with dynamic wrinkles, commonly known as crow’s feet, but it is less effective when your concern is directly under the eye. This is because these lines are usually due to loss of collagen and skin elasticity, not just repetitive movement.
Cheshire Lasers offers a wide range of injectable treatments that stimulate collagen in the skin to improve skin texture and elasticity under the eyes. They can also help improve puffiness and dark circles, and are now more popular than tear-trough injections.
They all involve a course of treatments and can deliver fantastic results. We also still provide tear trough treatments, but these are only suitable for certain patients, depending on their problem.
Most other under-eye anti-ageing treatments involve damaging your skin to make it heal, repair and then regenerate. The results last for varying lengths of time. Generally, the more aggressive the treatment, the better the results and the longer they last.
There are various ways to damage the skin surface:
Ultraformer MF2 causes injuries just under the skin using ultrasound energy. The high-intensity energy can be focused at the depth we want, causing injury to the collagen. It does not damage the visible upper layer of skin cells known as the epidermis, so there is little downtime.
This treatment could cause some bruising if you are unlucky. It can also cause a bit of redness, which usually goes after an hour or two. Sometimes it can cause slight swelling, which generally lasts hours or a few days if you are unlucky. Ultraformer MF2 usually requires a course of 3 treatments, sometimes more. It is currently the most popular treatment at Cheshire Lasers. The results are typically visible one month after your first treatment, but the result of collagen remodelling, tighter, younger-looking skin can take three months to be fully appreciated.
The Endymed eye treatment uses radiofrequency technology to heat the skin to around 40 degrees Celsius, which is about the same temperature as a hot shower. The collagen in the dermis layer of the skin is heated to a temperature at which it contracts. This triggers healing and repair, producing new collagen that remodels and tightens naturally over time.
The CACI Eye Revive
The CACI Eye Revive Treatment involves low-level radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen, and it then opens up the skin channels of the skin to encourage penetration of hydrating products from the eye revive mask. It soothes tired, puffy eyes, reduces dark circles, lifts hooded eyes and yes, reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
A one-off treatment can lead you to a refreshed look and is great before a special event. However, a course of treatments delivers the best results.
Neogen uses nitrogen gas, which it converts into plasma energy. This energy improves both the epidermis and dermis layers, stimulating collagen production over time. It is one of the few treatments that can be used on the eyelids as well as the under-eye area.
A course of three or more treatments is required for optimal results, and downtime ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks. These factors depend on the strength of the treatment, which can be adjusted to meet your needs.
Radiofrequency Microneedling involves puncturing tiny holes into your skin, which then delivers an electric current to the collagen layer. This energy damages the skin and underlying collagen, creating newer, younger-looking, firmer skin. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so it is only moderately irritating, despite how it sounds.
The cons: It takes 4-24 hours for the redness to settle. 3 treatments every 5 weeks may be needed for best results, which include brightening, smoothing and fine-line reduction. However, you can take things slowly and have a treatment every few months.
Laser
Resurfacing lasers create trauma to your skin. The most popular one is a CO2 laser. This is often fractionated into small dots to reduce the amount of trauma to the skin and the downtime. There are some downsides to Laser treatment. Your skin will look and feel badly sunburned for a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the intensity of the treatment. It then goes sandpapery for a week or two. The results can be fantastic as long as you are prepared for the downtime. No pain, no gain, as they say! This treatment is not currently available at Cheshire Lasers. Why not visit The Consulting Room website to see who provides this treatment near you.
How do I know which under-eye rejuvenation treatment is for me?
Injectable treatments can cause bruising and swelling after each treatment.
The more ablative treatments, such as CO2 laser and Plasma, may require fewer treatments but have longer downtime and can be more uncomfortable.
The Ultraformer is a compromise, as it is pretty aggressive in the deep layers of the skin but rarely causes downtime. It can be uncomfortable, but the treatment is quick, so any discomfort is over quickly.
CACI Eye Revive is a very relaxing, enjoyable treatment, but a course of 10 treatments is required once or twice a week.
RF Microneedling is an excellent treatment with excellent results and minimal downtime. However, because disposable equipment is more expensive, performing it is more costly and only cost-effective if you are considering a full-face or face-and-neck procedure.
Neogen Plasma Skin Rejuvenation can treat the eyelids as well as the under-eye area. It can be used to target your areas of concern or the full face. You can have a course of low-level treatments, which cause minimal downtime. Alternatively, a course of medium treatments gives a much more significant amount of downtime but requires fewer treatments to achieve the desired results.
Endymed Facial Tightening with Radiofrequency is also a more enjoyable treatment that feels a bit like a hot stone massage for the face. Maintenance is recommended every six weeks after an initial course of 6 to 8 treatments.
As we age, we lose collagen and elastin in the skin, so the skin loses its capability to bounce back when we move and make different facial expression . Facial expressions are important, but they do put a strain on our skin and its supporting collagen and over time, can cause dynamic wrinkles.
Smoking, sun exposure, diet and genetics also influence how the skin ages.
One study shows that smoking 30 cigarettes daily will add 14 years to your skin!
There are two types of UV rays present in sunlight. UVB is responsible for sunburn, and UVA is responsible for DNA damage and skin ageing.
Sugar may also contribute to premature ageing through glycation. Glycation can damage skin tissues over time, leading to fine lines and wrinkles.
Genetics and our DNA can also play a role in ageing. Often, if your parents and grandparents have great skin, you will, too. However, if they have skin issues like big pores and acne-prone skin, you may also be more susceptible to these issues.
How to prevent wrinkles?
Avoiding smoking, limiting sun exposure and cutting down on sugar will all help to improve your skin health. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables and including oily fish, like salmon, will also improve your skin health. Vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables will boost your overall health and give you a glow from within. Hydration is also crucial to keeping your skin healthy and clear, so ensure you are getting enough water throughout the day, too.
Some serums and creams are designed for the eye area that can help prevent more wrinkles.

How do you remove Moles?
Shave excision and surgical curettage are the most common and easiest methods for removing a protruding mole.
Before the procedure begins, local anaesthetic injections are used to completely numb the area, helping to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment. Occasionally, a very thin layer of the underlying skin is also removed. This area heals naturally from the edges and the base, so stitches are usually not required.
The procedure is for raised moles, not flat moles, which require full surgical removal.
What are Moles?
Moles are very common skin lesions that can occur in people of any age. They are not usually harmful, however, if they are prominent, they can cause people to be self-conscious.
What will it be like after treatment?
After the procedure, the area will remain numb for an hour.
It will look like a flat scab, and the wound will feel like a graze.
The scab will fall off naturally after a week, leaving a flat pink area. The pink area usually returns to normal skin colour after a few weeks. Sometimes, however, the skin may be l permanently lighter or darker following removal.
How long does a Mole Removal Treatment take?
A Mole removal treatment takes up to an hour,
This is to allow Dr Allen to assess your mole and make sure it is suitable for treatment. He will then discuss the procedure in more detail and obtain your consent for treatment.
Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the removal procedure usually takes only a few minutes. Stitches are rarely needed, and heat is used to cauterise any blood vessels afterwards.
Most patients cannot believe how quick and easy mole excision is, and often say that they wish they had done it sooner.
How Much is Mole Removal
Choosing an experienced facial surgeon for your mole removal offers reassurance that your treatment is being carried out by a clinician with advanced surgical expertise, detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, and a commitment to delivering high standards of patient care.
Dr Kathryn Hazlehurst mainly uses Stylage Dermal fillers at Cheshire Lasers.
What is Stylage?
Stylage is the name of a group of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers from Vivacy that are exclusively made in France.
Their products include Stylage S, L and Lips; they vary in viscosities. The different types help improve the appearance of wrinkles and lines and contour the face and lips. Stylage fillers have undergone extensive clinical testing to demonstrate their safety and efficacy for aesthetic use, reassuring patients and healthcare providers.
Like other hyaluronic acid fillers, Stylage gradually breaks down over time. This natural degradation process allows for flexibility in treatment outcomes and adjustments as needed.
Why is Stylage different to other hyaluronic acid fillers?
Stylage products also contain Mannitol, which protects the hyaluronic acid against oxidative stress and minimises gel degradation.
Mannitol is an antioxidant that prevents free radical damage and helps lessen side effects like swelling and bruising.
Is a Stylage Treatment painful?
Most of the range contains lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, which reduces discomfort and pain at the treatment site, resulting in a more comfortable treatment.
Dr Hazlehurst also applies a topical lidocaine gel before treatment to improve your comfort further,
Dr Hazlehurst uses the following Stylage products at Cheshire Lasers:
Stylage Special Lips
Specially designed to treat all indications related to the ageing of the lips.
Lip volume augmentation.
Rehydration of the lips.
Definition of lip contour.
Stylage XL and Stylage XXL
For restoring volume in the face.
They are long-lasting dermal fillers that last 12-18 months. They are great for sculpting cheeks and defining chins and jawlines.
Stylage M and Stylage L
For filling moderate to deep lines and visibly smoothing the skin’s surface. Treatment areas include the nose-to-mouth lines and marionette lines.
Who Will Benefit from the ZO Peptide Facial Refining Concentrate?
Zo Skin Health Peptide Facial Refining Concentrate can help if you:
Are seeing both dynamic lines (from facial movement) and static lines (wrinkles visible even when face is relaxed).
Have signs of lost volume (e.g. around cheeks, under the eyes, or hollows) and want something that assists in “plumping” without immediately going to fillers.
Would like to maintain or prolong results from treatments like fillers or Botox.
Want to improve skin texture, firmness, and contour over time.
What the Clinical Study Found
In a 12-week independent clinical study of 49 women aged 47-72 (varied skin types), they saw:
84% reported visibly younger‐looking facial geometry (i.e. a more sculpted, balanced face overall)
86% saw improvement in facial hollow areas (places that may have lost fullness)
92% saw a reduction in the appearance of fine lines
While results aren’t instantaneous, users saw meaningful improvements over time.
