Realistic expectations.**Your plan is built around candidacy, goals, and safety. What brings you here? **Texture**Dullness, roughness, and congestion **Pigment**Uneven tone and visible discoloration **Clarity**Acne-prone skin and post-breakout marks Our Approach ## The right peel is defined by your skin—not by how much peeling occurs. A professional assessment helps match peel depth and ingredients to your skin condition, tolerance, home-care routine, and upcoming schedule. More intensity is not automatically better. **Consultation first** Appropriateness and alternatives are assessed before treatment. **Individualized settings** Technique and intensity are selected for your anatomy and goals. **Clear expectations** Benefits, limitations, recovery, and risks are discussed directly. **Long-term thinking** Your plan can be staged and adjusted as your needs evolve. Treatment Planning ## Options shaped around *your goals.* Each option addresses a different concern. Consultation determines candidacy, sequencing, and whether another approach is more appropriate. 01 / CHEMICAL PEELS ### ZO® Stimulator Peel A lighter, no-downtime option commonly chosen for brightness, texture, and routine maintenance. - Gentle refresh - Texture - Brightness - Event-ready care 02 / CHEMICAL PEELS ### ZO® 3-Step Peel A more corrective peel protocol for appropriate candidates seeking improvement in pigmentation, texture, and visible aging. - Corrective care - Pigmentation - Texture - Planned downtime 03 / CHEMICAL PEELS ### Pre- & Post-Peel Care Medical-grade home care supports preparation, recovery, sun protection, and longer-term results. - Skin preparation - Barrier support - Sun protection - Maintenance ![Chemical Peels consultation and treatment planning](https://sjawc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/Chemical%20Peel/chemical-peel-sjawc-header.jpg?width=1200&height=900&name=chemical-peel-sjawc-header.jpg) Personalized Assessment ## A plan built from the *right questions.* Your concern, health history, prior treatment, timeline, and tolerance for recovery all affect the recommendation. 01 **Tone** Uneven pigmentation and post-breakout marks. 02 **Texture** Dullness, roughness, and visible pores. 03 **Breakouts** Congestion and acne-prone skin when clinically appropriate.

Skin type, concerns, sensitivity, and schedule guide the choice. Will my skin visibly peel?+ Visible peeling depends on the treatment and individual response. A successful peel does not always require dramatic shedding. Can peels help acne scars?+ Peels may improve discoloration and superficial texture, but deeper acne scars often require a different or combined approach such as microneedling or laser resurfacing. What should I stop using beforehand?+ Certain retinoids, exfoliants, or irritating products may need to be paused. Do not make changes until the practice provides individualized instructions. How important is sunscreen afterward?+ Very important. Freshly treated skin can be more sun-sensitive, and unprotected exposure can increase irritation or pigment risk.
