FAQ’s
Why ZO Skin Heath?
The dynamic bond between science and skin health is the essence of ZO Skin Health. With world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi as their legacy, ZO Skin Health push the boundaries of traditional skincare with powerful ingredients, patented formulations and unique delivery systems.
“My mission is to create skin that is healthy, youthful and vibrant, fulfilling my definition of skin health.” ZEIN OBAGI, MD
Having extensively researched treatment for stubborn pigmentation and Melasma for our patients, we believe that treatment and maintenance using key active prescription strength ingredients gives the best possible results. Our friendly and experienced nurse will also educate and arm you with the knowledge and tools to maintain your treatment results and reduce the chances of reoccurrence long term.
How does it work?
The start of your treatment journey would begin with a complimentary consultation with our Aesthetic Nurse Prescriber Kay who will examine and assess your skin, as well as taking a detailed history and advising on the recommended treatment options.
What’s so special about ZO Skin Health? I have tried lots of topical creams on my skin in the past that claim to lighten dark spots and pigmentation, but they never work, or I only notice a very slight difference?
ZO Skin Health is a medical grade product range that is only available in specialist medic led skin clinics. Cosmetic grade skincare, which is the type of products and creams that you will find on the high street and for widespread purchase online are not comparable to Zo Skin Health products.
Medical grade skincare products are scientifically proven to work and this is backed by clinical studies. They contain much higher concentrations of pure and active ingredients with no bulking agents or synthetic fragrances. Each ingredient within them has a specific role to play, and is of the strength and potency to make real changes to the skin. In the case of our pigmentation package, the products that we provide are prescription strength and must be prescribed for you by our experienced prescribing nurse. You simply cannot get the same strength creams or products over the counter from any ‘high street’ stores, regardless of what they may claim!
How long will it take before I see results?
We expect you to start to see results by at least 6 weeks into the treatment regime, but you will often see improvements before this time. We take before and after photos at your initial consultation, and again at 6 weeks into your treatment regime to monitor your progress.
Is there any downtime?
Due to the strength of the active ingredients, there is a period of adjustment and we expect what we call an ‘anticipated skin reaction’. This can vary from person to person, but may include some dryness, redness, soreness, itching, flaking. Your nurse will be on hand every step of the way to support and guide you through this, and may suggest some tweaks to your regime if needed. Once your skin has got used to the products, generally these symptoms reduce drastically in severity, with the only side effect being incredible skin!
Is treatment permanent?
Treatment has the potential to completely eradicate all signs of sun damage/Melasma from the surface of the skin, however, sun damage often involves damaged cells that sit within the deeper layers of the skin and these could therefore potentially be ‘re-activated’ should you expose the skin to aggressive sun exposure/UV radiation, and without the knowledge of how to care for and maintain your results. As part of your treatment package, we will advise and provide you with in depth information regarding long term maintenance, equipping you with the tools and knowledge base to maintain your results long term.
Can I or will I stay on the treatment creams forever?
The prescribed elements of our treatment programme are designed for short term use only, for a maximum of 4 months. However, as part of your treatment package, your nurse will slowly transition you over to some non-prescription equivalent products in order to continue to support your skin and maintain your results. These still contain much more potent and active ingredients than high street brands, yet are safe to continue long term should you wish to.
