No matter your age, your skin can benefit from the right professional care—and chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to refresh, rejuvenate, and reset your complexion. These treatments aren’t limited to one specific skin type or age group; they can be customized to meet your skin’s needs at every stage of life. Whether you’re in your 20s and focused on prevention or in your 50s and looking to restore radiance, there’s a peel for you.
At The Aesthetic Center, we offer a range of peel treatments from ZO® Skin Health, each designed to target specific skin concerns and fit different lifestyles and strength levels. The ZO Stimulator Peel is our gentlest in-office option—often referred to as the “lunchtime peel”—and is perfect for all skin types, especially those new to chemical peels. It uses a blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and antioxidants to exfoliate, refine congested pores, calm redness, and instantly brighten the skin with no downtime.
For deeper rejuvenation, the ZO 3-Step Peel is a more intensive treatment that combines trichloroacetic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid with a powerful retinol crème to enhance cellular turnover and address acne, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, and uneven texture.
For ongoing maintenance or those who prefer an at-home option, we also offer the ZO Enzymatic Peel—a gentle exfoliating treatment that helps smooth rough skin, revitalize dull complexions, improve signs of sun damage, and enhance the results of any ZO regimen. It’s recommended for use 1–2 times per week or as needed.
Not sure where to start? Your ideal peel might depend on your age, skin goals, and lifestyle. Here’s how chemical peels can support your skin through every stage of life:
In Your 20s: Preventative Care and Glow Boosting
Your 20s are the perfect time to begin preventative skin treatments. While collagen is still abundant and signs of aging are minimal, incorporating light chemical peels into your skincare regimen helps maintain a radiant complexion and keep future issues at bay. Peels like the ZO Enzymatic Peel and Stimulator Peel can help manage hormonal acne, reduce the appearance of early scarring, and provide that fresh, healthy glow—perfect for special occasions or regular upkeep.
In Your 30s: Early Signs of Aging and Skin Texture
As collagen production begins to slow and early signs of aging appear, chemical peels offer targeted support. Mild to moderate peels can minimize the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. In your 30s, peels are a powerful tool to maintain skin elasticity, enhance tone and texture, and improve overall skin clarity—keeping skin youthful for longer.
In Your 40s: Brightening and Firming
In your 40s, you may notice more pronounced fine lines, deeper pigmentation, and slower skin cell turnover. This is when more advanced peels, like the ZO 3-Step Peel, can help resurface the skin and target these visible signs of aging. Regular treatments can reduce dark spots, firm skin, and improve texture, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion that looks refreshed and revitalized.
In Your 50s and Beyond: Deep Rejuvenation
Skin in your 50s and beyond tends to lose elasticity, become drier, and show signs of cumulative sun damage. Stronger chemical peels can deeply exfoliate, increase collagen production, and improve hydration and tone. With consistent treatment, peels can reduce the look of wrinkles, soften rough patches, and restore a more youthful glow—even for mature skin.
Whether you’re just beginning your skincare journey or looking to maintain and enhance your results as you age, chemical peels are a powerful tool to support healthy, beautiful skin at any stage of life.
