Pigment Program (Hydroquinone) – 6-Month Bootcamp

Our 6-Month Pigment Program is an intensive, guided treatment program designed for moderate to severe hyperpigmentation, with a special focus on melasma and stubborn, recurring pigment.

The program combines a structured at-home ZO® Skin Health regimen with 4% hydroquinone, retinol, monthly professional check-ins, and two ZO® 3 Step Peels to address existing pigmentation while supporting clearer, smoother, healthier-looking skin.

The program is completed in phases. You'll begin with approximately 3 months of hydroquinone-based pigment correction, followed by a gradual transition off hydroquinone. By approximately Month 5, you'll be fully transitioned to your non-hydroquinone regimen, which becomes the foundation for ongoing pigment maintenance.

Your Pigment Program includes the products, professional treatments, and ongoing support needed throughout your six-month protocol.
