The ZO 3-Step Peel Treatment
Your ZO 3-Step Peel appointment at Maffi Plastic Surgery begins with your skin specialist cleansing and preparing your skin. The first step of the treatment involves applying a blend of exfoliating acids to remove the outermost layers of damaged skin. During the second step, we apply a retinol cream that penetrates deeper into the skin to stimulate collagen production and cellular turnover. The final step involves applying a soothing post-procedure calming cream that helps protect the skin afterwards and minimize irritation. The treatment typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes and is well-tolerated by most patients with only mild, temporary stinging.
Recovery & Results for the ZO 3-Step Peel
Recovery
Recovery after the ZO 3-Step Peel is generally quick and manageable. Peeling and flaking typically begin within two to three days and can continue for up to one week, depending on your skin’s response. We recommend moisturizing regularly, avoiding direct sun exposure, and following the customized aftercare instructions provided by our team. During the peeling process, it is important to avoid picking or pulling at the skin to allow for optimal healing.
Results
The results of the ZO 3-Step Peel become more noticeable as the skin heals, revealing a smoother, more radiant, and even-toned complexion. Many patients notice an improvement in fine lines, discoloration, and overall skin texture within a week. With continued use of ZO Skin Health products and healthy sun protection habits, results can be maintained and enhanced over time. Regular treatments can be scheduled based on your skin’s needs to support your ongoing skin health.

Contact UsWhat is the ZO 3-Step Peel?
The ZO 3-Step Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to deeply exfoliate the skin, stimulate collagen production, and promote long-term skin health. It combines exfoliating ingredients, a potent retinol cream, and a calming cream to achieve significant improvement in skin tone, texture, and overall complexion. Unlike traditional peels that focus on surface exfoliation, the ZO 3-Step Peel also addresses deeper layers of the skin, boosting cellular renewal and repair. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, each ZO 3-Step Peel treatment is customized to your specific skin type and concerns for optimal, balanced results.
Candidates for the ZO 3-Step Peel
You may be a candidate for the ZO 3-Step Peel if you have concerns such as fine lines, rough texture, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, melasma, or mild acne scarring. This peel is ideal for patients seeking comprehensive skin improvement with minimal downtime compared to deeper peels. During your consultation at Maffi Plastic Surgery, led by Dr. Terry Maffi, your Licensed Medical Aesthetician will assess your skin health, discuss your goals, and determine if the ZO 3-Step Peel is the right solution for you.
