What is the ZO 3-Step Peel?
The ZO 3-Step Peel is an advanced, in-office medical grade chemical peel using ZO SKIN HEALTH’s line of skin care products to help exfoliate the skin, stimulate collagen production, and promote long-term skin renewal. This peel goes beyond surface-level exfoliation by using a blend of powerful ingredients, including salicylic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acids, followed by retinol and antioxidants to enhance cellular turnover and support skin healing. It effectively targets concerns such as fine lines, acne, uneven skin tone, and sun damage, leaving skin smoother and more refined.

What to Expect
The ZO 3 Step Peel Process
At Juniper Face + Figure, a consultation is required before receiving the ZO 3-Step Peel to ensure it is the right treatment for your skin type, concerns, and overall skincare goals. This powerful, medical-grade peel contains potent ingredients that work at multiple levels, making it essential to assess your skin’s tolerance and readiness. During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin condition, discuss any sensitivities or contraindications, and recommend a pre-treatment skincare regimen to optimize your results. We’ll also go over what to expect during and after the peel, ensuring you feel fully prepared and confident in your treatment plan. Our goal is to provide a safe, effective, and customized approach to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your skin.
1
Peel Solution
A blend of salicylic acid (17%), trichloroacetic acid (10%), and lactic acid (5%) is applied to the skin to exfoliate the outermost layer, removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and stimulating new cell turnover. It is normal to feel tingling during the application process.
2
Retinol Crème Complex (6%)
A high-potency retinol is applied to penetrate deeper into the skin, accelerating cellular renewal, boosting collagen production, and helping to reduce fine lines, acne, and hyperpigmentation. It is normal for the skin to appear pink and mildly red immediately following the treatment.
3
Calming Crème (Post-Treatment Care)
This take-home moisturizer is formulated with advanced peptides and soothing agents to reduce inflammation, restore hydration, and enhance the skin’s healing process.
Unlike traditional chemical peels, the ZO 3-Step Peel not only provides immediate exfoliation but also continues to improve skin quality over time. It’s effective for treating acne, melasma, sun damage, rough texture, enlarged pores, and signs of aging, making it a versatile solution for those seeking long-term skin health and rejuvenation.
ZO 3 Step Peel Pre-Treatment Instructions
To ensure the best results and minimize potential irritation, follow these pre-treatment guidelines before your ZO 3-Step Peel at Juniper Face + Figure:
Use a ZO Skincare Regimen – For at least 4-6 weeks before treatment, incorporate a skincare routine recommended by your provider to prep the skin.
Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure – Limit direct sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks before your peel.
Discontinue Retinol & Active Ingredients – Stop using retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), benzoyl peroxide, and other strong actives at least 3-5 days before your peel to reduce sensitivity.
Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water and keep your skin moisturized leading up to your appointment to support the healing process.
Avoid Hair Removal Treatments – Refrain from waxing, laser treatments, or depilatory creams on the treatment area for at least one week prior to avoid excess irritation.
Notify Us of Any Medications or Skin Conditions – Inform your provider if you are using Accutane (must be off for at least 6 months), antibiotics, or other medications that may affect skin sensitivity.
No Botox or Fillers Close to the Peel – If you plan to get injectables, schedule them at least two weeks before or after your peel for optimal results.
Following these steps will help prepare your skin for a safe and effective ZO 3-Step Peel, ensuring the best possible outcome!

To ensure optimal healing and results, follow these post-care guidelines after your ZO 3-Step Peel at Juniper Face + Figure:

FAQS about Advanced Chemical Peel in Bozeman
- Who is a good candidate for this peel?
-
The ZO 3-Step Peel is suitable for most skin types, but a consultation is required to determine if it’s right for you. It is not recommended for individuals with extremely sensitive skin, active infections, or those currently using Accutane.
- When will I see results?
-
Initial improvements—brighter, smoother skin—can be seen after one week when peeling subsides. Full results, including firmer skin and improved texture, continue to develop over several weeks as collagen production increases.
- How often should I get the ZO 3-Step Peel?
-
For best results, a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. Maintenance peels can be done every few months depending on your skincare goals.
- Will the peel be painful?
-
You will feel a warm/hot, tingling, or stinging sensation during the application, which subsides within a few minutes. Mild irritation and tightness may continue for a few days post-treatment, but it is manageable with the recommended aftercare.
- I’m pregnant and or lactating. Can I get a chemical peel in Bozeman?
-
Medical-grade chemical peels are not recommended during pregnancy or lactation. These treatments use stronger, clinically concentrated acids that can penetrate more deeply into the skin. While the amount absorbed systemically is typically low, there isn’t enough high-quality research proving that these ingredients—and their deeper penetration levels—are completely safe for developing babies or nursing infants.
During pregnancy, skin can also become more reactive and sensitive due to hormonal changes, increasing the risk of irritation, inflammation, and pigmentation issues like melasma. Because of these factors, most medical professionals recommend avoiding medium-depth or advanced chemical peels until after pregnancy and breastfeeding are complete.
For expectant or nursing mothers, we offer gentler, pregnancy-safe alternatives to maintain skin health without unnecessary risk. Please ask, Mady, our leading esthetician on alternative and safer options to you if you’re in need of self-care that’s safe for you if you are either pregnant or lactating.
