ZO

Since ZO is a professional-grade skincare line with multiple serums, retinols, exfoliants, and more, picking the right regimen is crucial. We invite you to undergo a skin analysis at Manhattan Medspa to determine your skin type and identify your primary concerns. Then, we find products to match your needs. We may start you with essentials like cleansers and sunscreens, then add more advanced products later, monitoring how your skin responds and making adjustments as needed.

You can mix, but it can be difficult to determine what is working best when adding other products. You will also want to be aware that you should not overload your skin with multiple aggressive treatments, as this can irritate the skin. At Manhattan Medspa, we review your full skincare routine during a consultation appointment to provide you with custom-tailored advice.

As ZO skincare products often contain powerful ingredients like retinol, growth factors, and peptide complexes, the results are not instantaneous. Within 4 – 6 weeks, you may see improvements in skin texture, clarity, and overall glow, and within 3 – 4 months, you might see more substantial changes, such as fewer visible fine lines, improved tone/pigmentation, and a firmer feel.

Good skincare isn’t only about what you apply, but how you start. We encourage you to ensure that you are not using another highly active product in the same category. Mention any recent treatments you have had to ensure the skin is not too sensitive before starting. Also, maintain good sun protection and be prepared for any adjustments that may be necessary, which can cause mild dryness or skin sensitivity.

The actual cost will depend on which ZO line of product you’re using, whether you are buying a full regimen or individual items, and whether or not you have any coupons or special sale prices applied to your purchase.

Generally, no. Medical-grade skincare products like ZO skin products and aesthetic consultations for them are considered elective cosmetic or wellness services, not medical necessities. They often fall outside of typical health insurance coverage. However, if you have a true dermatologic condition and a dermatologist prescribes part of the ZO regimen for medical treatment, your insurance might cover part of the initial doctor visit and consultation.

If you are in or near the New York City area, we encourage you to look for a provider who is an authorized ZO product partner, offers consultation appointments to evaluate your skin and help you choose the best products, and assists you in developing a realistic regimen.

Just like any skincare regimen, consistency matters. This means that while certain benefits may last for a while, discontinuing product use entirely means that your skin will gradually be exposed to environmental damage and aging factors again. Since ZO products emphasize prevention and protection, discontinuing use means losing that protective edge.

Yes! As ZO uses advanced actives, many users report improved skin and better results from other combination treatments because the skin’s base health is stronger. These products allow you to postpone more invasive treatments and enjoy ongoing skin support from a trusted professional at Manhattan Medspa.
