ZO® Skin Health Protocol FAQs

What steps are included in the ZO Skin Health protocol?

The protocol typically involves cleansing, exfoliation, cellular stimulation through retinol and active ingredients, tone correction, and daily sun protection working together to renew and defend your skin. These steps support cell turnover, collagen health, and barrier function. Our skin experts may recommend including in-office procedures to accelerate improvement. 

Does the ZO Skin Health protocol target concerns like aging, acne, or hyperpigmentation?

Yes. At ZO Skin Centre Dallas, every protocol is customized to your top skin concern whether that is breakouts, dark spots, wrinkles, or redness or any other skin concerns.

How is the protocol customized?

Your provider performs a detailed consultation and skin evaluation during your initial consultation, then selects products and treatment timelines based on your skin condition, tolerance, and preferred speed of results. We identify the root cause of your concerns, then build a progressive treatment plan designed for visible, long-lasting results. Adjustments are made along the way to keep your skin advancing in health.

What products and treatments are included?

The protocol may include medical-strength cleansers, exfoliators, retinols, pigment correctors, antioxidants, moisturizers, and broad-spectrum SPF. Chemical peels, resurfacing treatments, or facials performed in our office may also be recommended.

How long does treatment take?

Most patients complete the initial corrective phase in 6 to 18 weeks, depending on the skin issue and desired transformation level. A full program often spans 3 to 6 months. After correction, we transition patients into a maintenance phase to preserve and protect results.

When will I see results?

Skin often looks smoother and more radiant within 3 to 6 weeks. Greater improvements in firmness, clarity, and pigment typically become visible within 8 to 12 weeks.

How long do results last?

Results last as long as skin health is actively maintained. Ongoing guidance at ZO Skin Centre Dallas helps prevent regression and supports continuous improvement.

Do I need maintenance treatments?

Yes. A simplified long-term routine and occasional in-office services keep skin functioning at its healthiest.

Can the ZO Skin Health Protocol be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Our providers frequently pair it with microneedling, injectable treatments, lasers, or peels for advanced rejuvenation.

What enhances the results further?

Custom resurfacing treatments, facials, and specialized antioxidant boosters in our office practice may be added to speed up correction and refine texture.

What side effects should I expect?

Temporary redness, dryness, tightness, or exfoliation can occur early in the protocol as cell turnover increases. These are typical signs of skin renewal.

Can irritation or dryness occur?

Yes. Our ZO team monitors progress closely and makes adjustments to improve comfort without compromising your results.

Is there downtime?

Most patients continue normal routines including work, exercise, and makeup. Any visible flaking or redness is usually manageable.

How long will side effects last?

Symptoms generally peak in the first 2 to 4 weeks and decrease as the skin adapts and strengthens.

Who should avoid the ZO Skin Health protocol?

Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have specific medical contraindications should consult with our team to ensure safety before starting. We are happy to answer questions to ensure the protocol is a good fit for you.

How much does the ZO Skin Health Protocol cost at ZO Skin Centre Dallas?

Costs vary depending on product selection and the number of in-office treatments. Pricing typically starts at a few hundred dollars and increases with more comprehensive protocols.

Are packages or financing available?

Yes. We offer bundled treatment options and financing options to support long-term skincare plans.

How should I prepare before beginning the ZO Skin Health Protocol?

During your initial consultation, your skin expert may recommend suspending certain products or recent skincare treatments to ensure optimal tolerance once the protocol begins. Our team will guide you through how to introduce products gradually and prepare your skin for active ingredients.
