Chemical Peel Training
What is a Chemical Peel?
Advanced Skin Resurfacing for Visible Correction
Chemical peels are one of the most effective and in-demand skin treatments used in professional aesthetics today. These targeted resurfacing procedures involve the application of a carefully formulated acidic solution to exfoliate dead skin cells, stimulate regeneration, and improve a wide range of skin concerns—from acne to ageing.
According to global statistics, chemical peels rank among the top three minimally invasive aesthetic procedures worldwide—thanks to their quick treatment time, customisability, and broad client suitability.
How Chemical Peels Work
Chemical peels work by breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together on the surface of the skin. As this outer layer peels away, it reveals fresher, clearer, and more even-toned skin beneath. This process mimics the skin’s natural rejuvenation cycle and triggers a controlled healing response, leading to improved collagen synthesis, texture, and tone.
Each peel differs in:
- Acid composition (AHA, BHA, PHA, TCA, etc.)
- Strength and pH level
- Depth of penetration
- Mode of action and application protocol
Understanding these variables is essential to achieving safe, effective, and customised results for your clients.
