A medical-grade skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve tone, texture, and clarity while targeting fine lines, acne, and sun damage. The ZO 3-Step Peel uses a controlled blend of acids and active ingredients applied in layers to exfoliate damaged skin, stimulate cellular renewal, and promote a healthier, more radiant complexion. This treatment delivers progressive improvement in skin quality with visible peeling and downtime depending on skin response.
A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove the top layers of the skin, revealing smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin underneath. This process helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and texture. Depending on the depth of the peel—light, medium, or deep—the treatment can target different skin concerns and requires varying amounts of recovery time. Chemical peels are commonly performed on the face, but they can also be used on the neck, chest, or hands for overall skin rejuvenation.
An advanced chemical peel is a professional-grade skin treatment that penetrates deeper into the layers of the skin compared to a standard peel, targeting more stubborn skin concerns such as deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, acne scarring, and significant uneven tone or texture. These peels use stronger chemical solutions—often a combination of acids—to achieve more dramatic and long-lasting results. Because they work at a deeper level, advanced chemical peels typically involve a longer recovery period, but they offer powerful skin resurfacing and regeneration. This type of treatment is ideal for individuals seeking a more intensive approach to rejuvenating and renewing their skin.

Our Lactic Acid peel is a gentle chemical peel treatment that is safe for pregnant and lactating women. The lactic acid we use is derived from sugar, not a milk derivative. This peel releases as many growth factors as needling while remaining non-invasive. It contains a low percentage of acid combined with a low pH, creating a safe, comfortable, and pleasant experience for the skin.
Cool Peel works in synergy in creating healthy-looking skin by nourishing the skin with vitamins, antioxidants. We want a beneficial peel, not a caustic peel. You wouldn’t put DrainO on your skin would you? It certainly would make you peel. Peeling has nothing to do with what our end goal is, which is not to take the skin off, it’s to affect the keratinocytes (stem cell) or first responders in our skin to make new tissue and stimulate growth factors to make more elastin & collagen.
Cool Peels are not about stripping your skin raw! They actually nourish your skin with vitamins and antioxidants while gently stimulating collagen and elastin for truly healthy, glowing skin.
We get this question a lot and the answer is yes! Our Cool Peel uses lactic acid from sugar, not milk, so mamas to be and breastfeeding women can enjoy this treatment worry free.
Honestly, probably not much at all! The better your skin health, the less visible peeling you will experience. Our cool peel works deep beneath the surface to wake up your skin’s natural repair process.
So many! From stubborn acne and scarring to fine lines, rosacea, rough texture and even skin laxity, a chemical peel treatment can tackle a whole range of concerns in one simple session.
If you have already had your first Cool Peel and are using the Environ Step Up system, a series of 3 or 6 peels could be your next step toward continuously building healthier, firmer and smoother skin over time.
