DURATION
A ZO 3-Step Peel appointment at The Spa by Sheena lasts 45 to 60 minutes for the in-office treatment, with home aftercare products extending the protocol over the following week.
PROCEDURE TYPE
The ZO 3-Step Peel at The Spa by Sheena is classified as a cosmetic procedure, performed electively to resurface the skin rather than to treat a medical condition.
BODY AREA
The ZO 3-Step Peel at The Spa by Sheena is performed on the face, applied in three sequential steps of cleansing or exfoliation, the active peel, and post-care.
INDICATION
The ZO 3-Step Peel at The Spa by Sheena treats significant sun damage, hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine lines, and texture concerns, with 5 to 7 days of visible peeling afterward.
THE PROTOCOL
What is the ZO 3-Step Peel?
The ZO 3-Step Chemical Peel is a medical-grade peel developed by Dr. Zein Obagi. It's a deeper, progressive peel that combines multiple acids over a multi-step application process. The result is meaningful improvement in pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, and skin texture — with more downtime than lighter peels.
What to expect from a ZO 3-Step Peel
The treatment itself takes 30 to 45 minutes. Most peels feel like warmth, tingling, or a brief stinging during application. The provider neutralizes the peel and applies post-care products. You leave with specific home-care instructions.
Expect some flaking, peeling, redness, and dryness for 3 to 7 days depending on peel depth. The ZO 3-Step produces visible peeling on day 3 to 4 that resolves by day 7. Lighter peels may produce mild flaking that's hardly noticeable.
Skip sun exposure (this is critical) and use SPF religiously for 2 weeks post-peel. Skip retinoids and other actives for at least a week. Skip exfoliants until skin is fully calm. Avoid heat exposure (sauna, hot yoga) for several days.

FAQ
Your questions, answered
We’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help make your experience simple, transparent, and stress-free.
A medical-grade chemical peel developed by Dr. Zein Obagi. Three sequential layers of active ingredients—exfoliation, retinol, and growth factors—drive significant skin renewal. Stronger than over-the-counter peels but still office-administered without sedation. One of the most effective single-treatment peels for hyperpigmentation and texture.
What is the ZO 3-Step Peel?
Significant hyperpigmentation, sun damage, melasma (with caution), uneven tone, fine lines, large pores, acne-prone skin, dull complexion. The treatment is more aggressive than light peels—reserved for patients ready for stronger results with some downtime.
What does the ZO 3-Step Peel treat?
Visible peeling and flaking for 5–7 days. Skin appears red and tight initially, then begins flaking by day 2–3. By day 5–7 you've revealed fresh skin underneath. Plan around social events—don't get the ZO 3-Step the week before a major appearance.
What's the downtime for ZO 3-Step?
Strong tingling and burning during application, lasting 5–10 minutes. We use cool air and fan during application for comfort. Most patients describe it as intense but manageable. The result-to-discomfort ratio is favorable.
Does the ZO Peel hurt?
$375 per peel. Series of 3 peels (one every 6 weeks) recommended for significant correction. Series pricing available. Members receive discounted pricing.
How much does the ZO 3-Step Peel cost in Lubbock?
Every 6–8 weeks during active correction. Maintenance every 3–4 months. Going more frequently doesn't add benefit and may stress skin.
How often can I get the ZO 3-Step Peel?
Strict sun avoidance for 14 days. SPF 30+ daily, reapplied. Heavy moisturizer. Don't pick or peel manually—let skin shed naturally. Skip retinoids, scrubs, and active acids for 10–14 days. We provide a written aftercare plan.
What's the aftercare for the ZO Peel?
No—contains retinol and other ingredients not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We can recommend pregnancy-safe alternatives that produce gentler results.
Is the ZO Peel safe during pregnancy?
Sometimes—but with caution. Aggressive peels can occasionally trigger melasma flare. We may modify the ZO protocol for melasma patients or recommend a gentler approach like the Herbal Green Peel. Discuss with your provider at consultation.
Will the ZO Peel help with melasma?
Book a complimentary skin consultation. We need to assess your skin to confirm ZO is appropriate (vs. a gentler peel). We'll design a treatment plan with honest pricing. Call (806) 701-5840 or book online.
