Our Advanced Chemical Peel Course has been designed to provide learners with the theoretical knowledge, practical competence and professional confidence required to safely and effectively perform superficial chemical peel treatments within a clinical or salon environment.
This comprehensive programme combines evidence-based theory with hands-on practical training, enabling students to understand the science behind chemical exfoliation whilst delivering safe, results-driven treatments tailored to individual client needs.
Throughout the course, learners will develop an in-depth understanding of skin anatomy and physiology, the skin healing process, Fitzpatrick skin types, skin analysis and consultation techniques, treatment planning, contraindications, precautions and possible adverse reactions. Students will also learn how to select the most appropriate peel based on skin concerns, client suitability and desired outcomes.

Emphasis is placed on maintaining the highest standards of infection prevention, client safety and treatment outcomes.
