Overtime, sun exposure and the natural aging process can take a toll on the quality of our complexion. A daily skincare regimen of cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing is an excellent way of helping our skin healthy. Here at Nourished MedSpa and Wellness Center, we use ZO Skin Health products. Chemical peels and dermaplaning are advanced skin care treatments that renew and nourish skin for a healthy and radiant complexion, by exfoliating the top layers of skin.
Ever wondered how celebrities look so flawless on the red carpet? Having a professional team of makeup artists and stylists doesn’t hurt, but savvy consumers in North Texas throng to Nourished MedSpa for a chemical peel from Obagi’s ZO Health line.
What Are Chemical Peels and Dermaplaning?
Chemical peels and dermaplaning are personalized skin care treatments that work to lift and smooth away damage and debris from the surface of skin. Treatments use unique chemical solutions to extract damage and eliminate complexions flaws for a rejuvenated appearance. There are a variety of chemical peel solutions designed to target and correct many common skin concerns that we use:
- Lactic Acid—aging, acneic or keratizined skin
- Glycolic Acid – dry, aging skin
- Salicylic Acid—oily, acneic skin
- Alpha-Beta Peel—salicyclic followed by glycolic acid
- Modified Jessner’s Peel (14% LA, 14% SA, 14% GA)
- Lite Jessner’s (7% LA, 7% SA, 7% Resorcinol)
- Ultra Jessner’s Peel (14% LA, 14% SA, 14% Resorcinol, 2% Hydroquinone)
- Lactic Brightening Peel (45% LA, 2% Hydroquinone)
- Glycolic Brightening Peel (45% GA, 2% Hydroquinone)
- TCA Peel
ZO Controlled Depth Peel Kit—A dermal peel that can be used on all skin types and ethnicities for deeper repair, texture improvement and skin tightening.
ZO 3-step Peel Kit—A potent peel developed to provide both epidermal exfoliation and dermal stimulation. It offers a wide range of anti-aging benefits, including texture repair and pigmentation correction.
LACTIC ACID PEEL
An alpha hydroxy acid, lactic acid is generally used to treat skin that is tolerant to glycolic acid, pigmented, uneven, dehydrated or in need of maintenance.
GLYCOLIC ACID PEEL
The glycolic peel will address lines, wrinkles, and mild hyperpigmentation for an overall rejuvenation. This deep strength yet superficial peel is recommended for experienced peelers with combination to dry skin types and is safe for all skin tones.
SALICYCLIC ACID PEEL
The salicylic peel is a deep strength beta hydroxy acid used to clear clogged pores with repeated use. This deep strength peel is appropriate for experienced users only with an oily/acneic skin type and is safe for all skin tones.
ALPHA-BETA PEEL
The alpha beta peel is a full spectrum peel because it combines an application of Beta Hydroxy Acid (Salicylic Acid) followed with an application of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (Glycolic Acid). Research shows that applying Salicylic Acid before applying Glycolic Acid will cause the Glycolic Acid to penetrate the skin more deeply – resulting in a totally unique and highly superior facial peel. For those suffering with an acneic skin condition, the alpha-beta peel is the ultimate “golden ratio”.
JESSNER’S PEEL
Jessner’s peel is a popular medium depth chemical peel that contains a combination of lactic acid, salicylic acid and resorcinol to help improve skin health.
RESORCINOL
Helps remove rough, scaly skin via its keratolytic action making it useful in targeting skin blemishes, redness, marks, scars and flaky skin while also addressing discoloration and age damage.
HYDROQUINONE
A skin-lightening ingredient that treats hyperpigmentation, melasma, dark spots, sun spots, freckles, and age spots.
TCA PEEL
The TCA peel is perfect for experienced users looking for a deeper peel with heavier peeling and who do not mind up to 2 weeks of downtime. This peel will firm and tighten sagging skin and will address deeper wrinkles and texture issues.
The ZO Stimulator Peel works wonders in minutes. It’s a quick and easy treatment that can be done in your lunch hour to smooth away fine to moderate lines and wrinkles, acne, age spots, uneven pigmentation and rough skin texture.
The Stimulator Peel is designed to exfoliate the skin by stimulating cellular turnover to improve skin tone, texture and clarity. And the best part is that there is no downtime, peeling or redness afterwards; just glowing, healthy skin.
This peel is affectionately known as the “Red Carpet Peel” owing to the number of celebrities that use it before they have to look picture-perfect for red carpet events, and can’t afford to have the redness and flaking that some strong peels cause. It 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 contains 3 different acids to exfoliate your skin and promote cell turnover; with 10% Salicylic Acid, 10% Lactic Acid and 10% Citric Acid. These are known as AHA or Alpha Hydroxy acids – they dissolve dead skin cells and give a great exfoliation to the upper layers of the skin. The salicylic acid works on oily, acne prone skin, and the citric acid gives the skin a healthy glow.
Just one peel will see results, but maximum benefits can be achieved with a series of three to four peels carried out at two week intervals.
Which ZO Glow Peel is good for me?
Lunchtime Express – Short on time? No problem. A 30-minute easy treatment that is customized to your skin concern
Brightening – If you have dull, uneven skin tone and also any hyperpigmentation and sun spots
Acne clarifying – If you have skin congestion and have oily or acne-prone skin
Antiaging – If you have dry skin, fine lines or wrinkles with any sagging skin
How Does it Work?
During an initial consultation, a personalized treatment plan is created that is tailored to your specific skin needs and aesthetic desires. During treatment, the specialized chemical peel solution is gently applied to the surface of skin. It then works to exfoliate and lift the top layer of damaged skin tissue. You can also get dermaplaning to lift off dead skin cells. The dead and damaged skin cells are wiped away, revealing a fresh new layer of healthy and supple skin. This fresh new layer is more accepting of nourishing botanicals for an enhanced and youthful glow.
