Select a category to read about the technologies and product families, their potential uses, and the questions to review with a qualified clinician.
01 / Laser resurfacing
One advanced platform. Multiple approaches to fractional skin resurfacing.
HELIX pairs a fractional 10,600 nm CO₂ laser with 1570 nm non-ablative technology. The modalities can be used independently or together, allowing a clinician to tailor the approach to individual skin concerns and recovery considerations.
A fractional CO₂ resurfacing approach designed to target surface-level concerns with less residual heat than more intensive traditional CO₂ settings. Frequently discussed for uneven texture, visible pores, and fine lines. Some redness and recovery time may still occur.
Fractional 1570 nm non-ablative laser energy heats tissue without intentionally removing the skin surface. It may be considered for textural concerns and collagen remodeling, with treatment plans dependent on skin assessment.
HELIX can combine fractional ablative CO₂ and non-ablative 1570 nm energy in one treatment. The balance can be customized; recovery requirements depend on the selected settings and individual response.
Not every concern or skin type is appropriate for every laser setting. Medical history, skin pigmentation, prior scarring, sun exposure, medications, and healing capacity all matter. Possible adverse effects include redness, swelling, pigment changes, infection, and scarring. More intensive resurfacing generally involves more recovery than superficial treatment.
Any post-treatment skincare plan should follow instructions from the treating clinician; products that are appropriate for daily use may not be appropriate immediately after resurfacing.
02 / Professional skincare
A thoughtful skincare routine begins with the essentials.
ZO Skin Health organizes care around Getting Skin Ready®—cleanse, exfoliate, and tone—followed by targeted products selected for skin concerns and daily sun protection. Different skin types call for different products, rather than a single routine for everyone.
Remove sunscreen, debris, makeup, and excess surface oil. ZO examples include Gentle Cleanser and Hydrating Cleanser.
Help remove built-up surface skin cells when appropriate. Exfoliating Polish is one option; frequency depends on skin tolerance.
Address remaining surface oil and prepare for the rest of a routine. Examples include Complexion Renewal Pads and Calming Toner.
ZO's barrier-support serum is designed to help defend against environmental stressors and improve the look of premature aging.
An antioxidant-focused serum intended to support skin against everyday environmental exposure and the appearance of dullness.
A cosmetic serum developed to support the appearance of elasticity, smoothness, and skin density over time.
A non-hydroquinone brightening option for the appearance of uneven tone and discoloration.
Broad-spectrum sunscreen is a foundational part of daily skin care. ZO offers sunscreen formats such as Daily Mineral SunShade Broad Spectrum SPF 45 and Sheer Fluid Tint SPF 45. Product suitability depends on skin type, sensitivity, and preference.
Laser recovery may require a temporary change to usual skincare products. Exfoliants, retinoids, and other active formulations should not be resumed immediately after resurfacing unless the treating clinician advises it. Specific post-procedure plans depend on the treatment performed.
03 / Patient education
Understand important distinctions and risks of medically administered products.
Injectable aesthetic products are regulated medical treatments, and different formulations have different labeled indications and safety requirements. Information here is general education rather than product selection or individualized treatment advice.
A botulinum toxin product with FDA-approved cosmetic indications in adults. Its prescribing information includes warnings about serious potential side effects, including spread of toxin effects and swallowing or breathing difficulties.
A family of hyaluronic-acid dermal fillers. Risks can include swelling, bruising, infection, and serious complications if filler enters a blood vessel, including tissue damage or changes in vision.
DAXXIFY® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is a prescription botulinum toxin type A product with FDA-approved indications for moderate-to-severe frown lines and cervical dystonia in adults. Treatment requires individualized clinical assessment and review of important risks.
DAXXIFY® · Adult prescription treatment
Our practice uses DAXXIFY in both aesthetic and therapeutic care. The medical purpose, FDA approval status, possible benefits, and risks depend on the condition being evaluated.
DAXXIFY is approved in adults for temporarily improving moderate-to-severe glabellar lines associated with certain facial muscles.
DAXXIFY is also approved for adults with cervical dystonia, a condition that causes involuntary neck muscle contractions and may affect head posture and comfort.
Like other botulinum toxin products, DAXXIFY carries a boxed warning: toxin effects may spread beyond the injection area. Difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. DAXXIFY should not be used by people with certain allergies to botulinum toxin products or with infection at the intended injection site.
Potential effects include headache, eyelid drooping, facial muscle weakness, and—when used for cervical dystonia—neck-related weakness or discomfort. Review your medical history, all medications, and the full official safety information with your clinician.
