Acne Treatments
Our targeted acne treatments combine clinical expertise with personalized care to address individual skin concerns. Using Face Reality products and customized protocols, we tackle inflammation, bacterial imbalances, and hormonal factors contributing to breakouts. Each session includes a comprehensive skin analysis and tailored home-care recommendations to maintain results between visits.
Chemical Peels
Custom chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells while promoting cellular turnover for clearer, more radiant complexions. We use enzyme-based solutions from Cosmedix to gently resurface skin without irritation. Treatments address acne scars, uneven texture, and hyperpigmentation while maintaining skin barrier integrity for all skin types.
Dermaplaning
This manual exfoliation technique removes dead skin cells and vellus hair to reveal smoother, brighter skin. Using sterile surgical tools, we perform gentle dermaplaning to improve product absorption and enhance skin texture. Ideal for preparing skin for other treatments or achieving immediate glow before special events.
Facials
Custom facials address specific concerns through personalized product selection and targeted techniques. Each session includes skin analysis, extractions when needed, and education on home care routines. Treatments focus on restoring skin balance while providing relaxation through therapeutic touch and aromatherapy elements.
Brow Care
Professional brow shaping and maintenance services include waxing, trimming, and tinting using gentle, skin-friendly products. We create natural-looking shapes that complement facial structure while minimizing irritation. Clients receive aftercare advice to maintain results and prevent ingrown hairs between appointments.

I have been a client of Zoeys for several years, and she is one of the best. She has extensive skin care knowledge and continues to educate herself on the newest and latest research and skin regimes.

Zoey at Z-Spot has been a godsend for my skin! She helped me address the deep cystic acne that I had been struggling with for years. When I started working with Zoey, I was on the brink of purchasing intense laser procedures to address discoloration caused by sun damage. I am so glad I listened to her because she not only saved me thousands of dollars, but she also completely rejuvenated my skin with simple, regular treatments. What I love most about working with Zoey is her commitment to address everything that was impacting my skin health. She regularly provides her clients with information
