The ZO® Stimulator Peel
The ZO® Stimulator Peel, often referred to as the “red carpet facial,” is a favourite among celebrities who need to look flawless under intense photography lights. Developed by Dr. Zein Obagi, who is acclaimed as "the king of skin," this treatment delivers impressive results with no downtime.
A No-Downtime Peel
This peel is unique for its ability to rejuvenate the skin without causing irritation or requiring downtime. It incorporates three essential formulas that prepare, peel, and neutralize the skin, leading to a healthier appearance. The ZO® Stimulator Peel promotes cellular turnover using a blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), which exfoliate dead skin cells and encourage the growth of healthy new ones.

This peel is gentle yet effective, providing immediate results without downtime. It deeply cleanses the skin, removing dirt and buildup, leaving you with a refreshed and radiant complexion. Post-treatment, your skincare products will penetrate more effectively, enhancing their benefits.
