What Can I Expect After a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels typically take 30-60 minutes to complete, and effects vary depending on the treatment. The ZO Glow Up Facial is excellent for first-time peel patients as it doesn’t require any downtime and can be done as often as once a week.
However, as it is a more powerful treatment, the ZO 3-Step Peel often results in 5-7 days of peeling, redness, and tightness. This treatment can be repeated every four weeks until desired results are achieved.
