Our Approach
At KINS, we have a unique approach to guide you on the best treatment options and protocols that work for your skin and your lifestyle. We analyse your skin in layers, we educate you on your skin type and how it will age and we put a long term plan in place for you that gives consistent results.
FAQs
What happens during the first 2-6 wks of starting products?
During your consultation you are guided on which ZO protocol will suit your skin concerns best. Depending on the issues needing to be addressed the first 2 weeks of the products may feel a little irritating if you have a very dry sensitive barrier. After 2-4 weeks your skin barrier will feel much stronger and your skin will have acclimatised to the products. If you are an oily skin type you may notice improvement of your skin in as little as 2 days and will experience little to no irritation in the process.
How long should I stay on the products?
ZO products are essential for maintaining long term skin health. As beneficial as procedures are, we would always recommend that your skincare that you use at home is even more important. ZO products keep the top layer of skin healthy and strong and minimise future environmental damage.
How quickly will I see results?
- Immediate improvements in hydration and smoothness may be seen within a few days to 1 week.
- More noticeable changes in skin tone, texture, and brightness appear around 4-6 weeks.
- Long-term improvements, such as firmness and pigmentation correction, are typically visible after 3-6 months of consistent use.
Patience and consistency are key with ZO skincare, but with regular use, the results will become increasingly visible and impactful over time!
Is downtime required?
- No downtime for most ZO products like cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens.
- Mild irritation (redness or dryness) can occur when starting products with active ingredients like retinol, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid, but it’s typically temporary and can be managed with gradual use.
- Skin purging is common with retinol or retinoid products and generally lasts for 6 weeks but can vary on the individual.
- Always protect your skin from the sun to prevent additional irritation or damage.
How long do results last?
Patience and consistency are key with ZO skincare, but with regular use, the results will become increasingly visible and impactful over time!
Can ZO be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely yes. We use ZO booster serums as part of many facial protocols and procedures. At KINS we take an overall apporach to your skin health, isolated procedures work well, but a combination of procedures along with ZO skincare work to give your skin the best possible results.
Contraindications
ZO is not recommended for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. Not suitable if you have an allergy to an ingredient in the skincare.
If your skin is irritated, dry and sensitive and you’d prefer to not have a period of irritaion to begin with , we would recommend the CO2 mask initially to treat your skin barrier.
