Hydrating peel

This is a superficial San Diego chemical peel with superior hydrating properties. As a byproduct, it improves product penetration. You receive a choice of 50% or 75% lactic acid in your peel solution. It is safe, effective medical grade peel that is ideal for dry, dehydrated and photo-damaged skin with little to no downtime. This peel produces micro-exfoliation and long lasting skin hydration. You will experience 1-3 days downtime.

Clarifying peel

This peel uses a unique concentration of lactic, salicylic, and azelaic acids and AHA Retinoid Conjugate. It targets pores and reduces the appearance of blemishes/skin imperfections, while also minimizing the appearance of age spots and pigmentation. It improves tone, texture and resilience of skin while increasing collagen production. There is a 5-7 day downtime.

Rejuvenating peel

Revive your youth with this unique concentration of phenol, TCA, salicylic and lactic acids. It is a medium depth medical grade peel ideal for aging, wrinkled and photo-damaged skin. It works to improve texture, tone and resilience for a more youthful appearance while increasing collagen production and reducing signs of sun damage. Skin hydration is also improved. This San Diego chemical peel has a 7-10 day downtime.

The 3-step stimulating peel by ZO

The ZO 3-step peel is an innovative, restorative facial rejuvenation procedure that treats imperfections such as acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin textures, wrinkles and fine lines, and melisma. Treatment at the office is followed up by maintenance treatment at home, thus extending the peel’s results beyond that of ordinary facials.

A ZO 3-step peel is effective in treating:

Fine lines, wrinkles, folds and creases
Enlarged pores
Pigmentation irregularities
Melasma
Uneven skin textures
Acne scarring
Sun damage

The three steps:

Step one: Salicyclic acid, lactic acid and trichloracetic acid are applied.

Step two: A 6% retinol cream is administered right after the peel, and again 5 hours later

Step three: A soothing topical cream is applied continuously after the peel that softens and hydrates the skin.

Advantages of the ZO 3-step peel:

Safe and effective for all skin types, tones and textures
Stimulates, nourishes and revitalizes dull, aging skin
Infuses the skin with nutrients, antioxidants
Exfoliates the skin of unwanted debris and dirt
Strengthens the skin’s natural defense systems
Soothes irritated, sensitive skin

Jessner peel

The Jessner chemical peel in San Diego is medium-strength and is designed to remove damaged layers of depleted cells and fight the everyday stress of environmental toxins. Treatment results tend to last longer than the average peel, making it especially popular about facial rejuvenation practitioners.

The Jessner peel has three key ingredients, which include lactic acid, salicylic acid and resorcinol. Together, these three compounds help to exfoliate, penetrate and heal broken, compromised skin.

Advantages of a Jessner peel:

Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
Reduces the effects of acne scarring
Treats enlarged pores
Improves poor skin tone and texture
Improves pigmentation issues
Treats melisma
Creates a youthful, radiant glow
Heals damage from excess sun exposure

Some clients are not ideal candidates for a Jessner peel, however. These include:

Those with cold sores or asthma
Those with lupus
Patients suffering from Eczema or psoriasis
Patients suffering from rosacea
Pregnant patients
Those with severe dermatitis or other skin disorders

What to expect with a Jessner skin peel

At first, your skin may be tight, dry and red, as well as slightly sensitive. These are all normal reactions to our San Diego chemical peel, and just means that the peel has done its job. Slowly over the course of about a week, the skin will turn from a pinkish color to a more brown shade. Once the damaged layer has been shed, however, your new complexion will be glowing and healthy. So expect about 7-10 days of recovery.
