ZO Skin Health Results and Safety Considerations
Understanding how product potency, skin biology, and consistent use affect ZO Skin Health outcomes can help you set realistic expectations and feel confident in your decision.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
Natural results are achieved by respecting your skin’s unique biology and barrier function. Our providers start you on a regimen appropriate for your sensitivity level, gradually introducing stronger actives as tolerance builds. Consistent use, proper layering, and diligent sun protection allow ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and exfoliating enzymes to remodel skin texture without over-stripping or causing undue irritation.
Your genetics, age, and lifestyle influence how quickly changes appear. By combining data-driven skin analysis with ongoing adjustments, we ensure improvements are harmonious and balanced—not artificial or overly aggressive.
Patient education is central to our approach; we teach you how to read your skin’s signals, when to scale back, and how to maintain your glow for the long term.
Where Are the Incisions?
ZO Skin Health is a topical skincare system—no incisions are required.
No incisions or sutures involved
Because treatment is entirely non-invasive, there is no surgical scarring.
Is Scarring a Concern?
Scarring is not a concern with topical skincare. However, transient redness or peeling can occur as the skin adjusts to active ingredients.
Skin Adjustment Timeline
Initial reactions typically resolve with continued use:
- Weeks 1-2
Mild redness or dryness as skin acclimates - Months 1-3
Skin strengthens; tone becomes more even - Around 6 months
Significant, stable improvements in clarity and texture - 1-2 years
Maintenance phase with periodic regimen adjustments
Following provider instructions and using recommended moisturizers or sunscreens helps minimize temporary irritation.
Understanding Risks and Safety

Potential risks may include:

- Dryness or tightness of the skin
- Hyperpigmentation if sun protection is neglected
- Allergic reaction to specific ingredients
- Eye irritation if products are applied too close to the eyes
- Breakouts during initial purging period

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.
Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
