ZO Medical Skin Care

Pre & PostTreatmentRecommendations

For Daily Skin Health

The ZO Medical skincare program is built to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, glowing, and youthful. Pre-condition before treatment, recover after, and maintain results with a daily medical-grade regimen.

Recommendations

Pre-Treatment, Post Treatment, and Regular Daily Skin Care

How you support your skin before and after professional treatments is the single biggest lever on the final result. The ZO Medical regimen is designed to precondition, protect, and maintain, so every in-office procedure works harder for you and the skin you take home holds up over time.

Phase One

Pre-Treatment Preconditioning

A typical preconditioning regimen starts several weeks before your treatment. Preconditioning promotes the skin’s renewal process for enhanced recovery, maximizes ingredient penetration, minimizes complications, and improves overall results.

Cleanse, exfoliate, and tone should be an essential part of your preconditioning regimen. Getting Skin Ready® maintains skin health, minimizes excess oil, and removes dead skin cells, which improves the absorption of active ingredients. If you aren’t already on a GSR® regimen, that is the baseline to start with.

Retinol is a strong option for preconditioning, since it supports skin restoration and resiliency. Wrinkle + Texture Repair is a high-potency retinol in a micro-emulsion delivery system. It supports the skin’s natural replenishment of hyaluronic acid and visibly improves the appearance of wrinkles and texture.

Firming Serum is a lightweight, tolerable formulation that supports visible improvement in elasticity, firmness, and hydration. If more hydration is needed before or after your treatment, Hydrating Crème aids in recovery and supports healthy barrier function.

Avoid the sun. Both leading up to and following your in-office treatment, minimize sun exposure. Cover up, reduce time outdoors when you can, and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen. All ZO® sunscreens are formulated with Triple-Spectrum Protection® to guard against sun and light damage. Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 50 is a mineral-based formula designed for sensitized and post-procedure skin.

The Details

Tips & Tricks

Follow your skin care regimen guide so you know in what order products should be applied.

Make sure before applying another product, that your previously applied product is fully dried.

Use soft cloth and soft towels to avoid any scrubbing.

Make-up can typically be worn once the peeling process is complete. You can use the EltaMD tinted sunscreen.

Wear a wide-brimmed hat or protective clothing for 3 months post treatment to avoid blistering, scarring, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation after treatment.

Always wear EltaMD Sunscreen.

When showering, avoid getting shampoo directly on the treated area.

Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating until after the skin has healed.

What to Expect

Anticipated Reactions

Initial redness, flakiness, dryness, burning, or stinging are all normal, anticipated reactions when starting retinol. With regular product use, skin will acclimate, revealing a smoother, more even-toned, youthful-looking complexion. Pair your retinol with a ZO® hydrator (Renewal Crème or Hydrating Crème) to minimize these reactions.
