ZO Stimulator Peels available at Cheshire Lasers, Middlewich.

ZO Stimulator Peel was created by Dr Zein Obagi MD – The Red Carpet Peel

ZO Stimulator Peel is gentle on the skin but strong enough to make a visible difference, brightening and refreshing the face for a youthful, dewy look. This peel is known in the USA as the ‘Red Carpet Peel’ owing to the number of celebrities that have the Peel 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 strong peels cause.

The ZO Skin Health Stimulator Peel includes a combination of three different acids plus potent concentrations of other active ingredients to exfoliate the skin, stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin and reduce wrinkles. As a result, the ZO Stimulator Peel is a highly effective way to treat signs of ageing, discolouration and UV damage.

What is ZO Stimulator Peel?

This peel comprises a combination of lactic, citric and salicylic acids 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.

What happens during the ZO Stimulator 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 Stimulator Peel is then applied and left on for two to four minutes before it is neutralised with pads soaked in Peel Neutraliser, which restores the skin’s Ph balance after the acids in the peel. The appropriate products are applied if you have a Brightening or Hydrating Medical Peel. 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 causes the superficial layer of the skin to peel off and may cause slight initial reddening. However, the treatment exposes a new layer of healthy, undamaged skin, resulting in a smoother texture and even skin tone.

Who should (and should not) have the ZO Stimulator Peel?

This peel is recommended for adults concerned with skin ageing, sun damage and hyperpigmentation or anyone wishing to have a rejuvenating boost to the skin.

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 acid, citric acid, salicylic acid or latex

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 Stimulator 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 results immediately, and skin will be fresher, glowing and with an improved texture and tone. We recommend a course of treatments for optimum results.

Is the ZO Stimulator Peel Painful?

Unlike stronger chemical peels during which you may feel discomfort, the Stimulator Peel is not painful and involves no downtime. You may experience a mild warming sensation briefly whilst the peel is applied. There may be slight initial reddening of the skin, followed by limited peeling a day or two later. For special events, the Peel is ideal to have three days before.

How long before I see results?

Most people will see a dramatic 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.
