Body skin renewal - Melbourne & Canberra
The same ZO Skin Health Stimulate Peel used in our facial treatments, applied to the body to address rough texture, dullness, and breakouts. A clinical-grade exfoliation in a single session, with no significant downtime.
A skin assessment is recommended prior to treatment. Not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Results vary between individuals.
About the treatment
The ZO Body Peel uses the ZO Skin Health Stimulate Peel formula, the same clinical-grade AHA/BHA peel used in our ZO facial treatments, applied to the body. Body skin is thicker than facial skin and frequently accumulates dead skin cells, congestion, and uneven pigmentation that standard scrubs cannot adequately address.
The ZO Stimulate Peel penetrates meaningfully deeper, delivering clinical-grade acids to accelerate cell turnover, decongest pores, and reveal smoother, clearer, more even-toned skin beneath.
What it addresses
Your practitioner will confirm the most appropriate areas and approach at your appointment.
01 - Texture
AHA acids chemically loosen dead skin cell bonds, addressing rough, bumpy texture including keratosis pilaris where standard products struggle.
Rough, bumpy texture (incl. KP)
Post-shaving bumps
Dry, flaky body skin
Course recommended for KP.
02 - Tone
AHA/BHA accelerates shedding of pigmented surface cells, progressively improving brightness on elbows, knees, underarms, and sun-damaged areas.
Darkened elbows & knees
Sun-related pigmentation
Post-inflammatory pigmentation
Progressive over a course.
03 - Acne
BHA penetrates the pore lining to address congestion from within, targeting back, chest, and shoulder breakouts at a depth topical washes cannot reach.
Back, chest & shoulder acne
Blackheads & congested pores
Post-acne pigmentation
Not for open lesions.
The formula
The same clinical-grade ZO Stimulate Peel used in our facial treatments, applied to the body. The AHA/BHA combination addresses both skin surface and pore environment simultaneously.
Same clinical-grade formula as our ZO facial treatments.
Lactic Acid & Citric Acid
Water-soluble acids that loosen bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating cell turnover, improving texture, and brightening skin tone at the surface.
Salicylic Acid
Oil-soluble acid that penetrates the pore lining, addressing congestion from within, making it particularly effective for breakout-prone and congested body skin.

FAQ
A standard scrub physically abrades only the outermost skin surface. The ZO Body Peel uses clinical-grade AHA and BHA acids to chemically loosen dead skin cells across multiple layers and penetrate the pore lining, addressing texture, tone, and congestion at a depth not possible with physical exfoliation alone.
Yes. The same ZO Skin Health Stimulate Peel formula is used for both facial and body applications. The application technique and areas treated differ, but the clinical-grade AHA/BHA formulation is the same.
Most clients describe a warming or mild tingling sensation during treatment, which resolves when the peel is neutralised. Generally well-tolerated. Tolerance varies between individuals and areas.
No significant downtime. Most clients return to normal activities immediately. Some peeling or shedding is expected in the days following as old skin cells shed. This is normal and typically resolves within five to seven days.
For texture and tone improvement, three to four sessions spaced two to four weeks apart is typically recommended. For body acne, four to six sessions may be needed. Your practitioner will outline an individualised plan at your appointment.
Yes. The AHA component is particularly effective for KP, helping to loosen the keratin plugs that cause rough, bumpy texture. A course of treatments is recommended for meaningful improvement. Results vary.
Before treatment, avoid retinoids, AHA/BHA products, waxing, and prolonged sun exposure for at least one week. After treatment, apply SPF 50+ daily, avoid direct sun, retinoids, AHA/BHA, and exfoliating scrubs for at least one week. Full aftercare instructions are provided at your appointment.
