Chemical Peels
At The Maxim Clinic at Pineville in Charlotte, NC, we offer professional ZO® Skin Health chemical peels designed to rejuvenate your complexion and restore a youthful glow. Whether you choose the ZO® Stimulator Peel—a gentle “lunchtime” peel with no downtime—or the ZO® 3-Step Peel, a more intensive treatment with deeper resurfacing benefits, our peels target fine lines, discoloration, and dullness to help your skin look healthier, smoother, and more luminous.
What Are Chemical Peels
ZO® chemical peels are advanced, medical-grade exfoliation treatments that use a precise blend of active ingredients to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulate cellular renewal, and improve overall texture and tone.
At The Maxim Clinic at Pineville, we offer two powerful options:
- ZO® Stimulator Peel – Often called the “lunchtime peel,” this mild peel brightens and refines the skin with little to no downtime. It’s perfect for a quick refresh before an event.
- ZO® 3-Step Peel – A medium-depth peel that provides deeper exfoliation and collagen stimulation, addressing more advanced concerns such as wrinkles, texture, and pigmentation. Expect mild peeling for about 5–7 days as the skin renews and heals.
Both peels are designed to support long-term skin health and are suitable for all skin types.
How Chemical Peels Work
ZO® peels work by using a synergistic blend of exfoliating acids—such as salicylic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA)—to dissolve damaged surface cells and stimulate new cell turnover. This process removes dead skin buildup, smooths fine lines, reduces pigmentation, and improves overall skin clarity.
The Stimulator Peel gently polishes and revitalizes the skin without irritation or downtime, while the 3-Step Peel penetrates deeper layers to boost collagen production and repair sun damage. Both treatments are followed by restorative serums to calm and protect the skin, enhancing your post-peel glow and resilience.
Conditions Treated with Chemical Peels
ZO® chemical peels effectively target a range of skin concerns caused by aging, sun exposure, and environmental stressors.
Common conditions that improve with ZO® peels include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
- Acne and post-acne marks
- Sun damage and age spots
- Rough or dull skin texture
- Large pores and congestion
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
Who Is a Good Candidate for Chemical Peels
ZO® chemical peels are ideal for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to refresh and revitalize their skin’s appearance and texture.
You may be a great candidate if you:
- Want smoother, brighter, and clearer skin
- Experience mild to moderate signs of aging or sun damage

Your provider at The Maxim Clinic at Pineville will help determine which peel—Stimulator or 3-Step—is best suited for your skin type and goals.
ZO® peels help you uncover fresher, more radiant skin while supporting long-term skin health. Results can be seen immediately after the Stimulator Peel or within a week after the 3-Step Peel as new, healthy skin emerges.
