Advanced Training and Certification in Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels are the perfect skin treatment to add to your clinic menu of skin procedures. These treatments are relatively quick and easy to administer, highly effective and suit a large percentage of clientele.

According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, there were nearly 1.4 million chemical peels performed in 2016, making it the third most common minimally invasive cosmetic procedure performed that year.

In a nutshell, chemical peels are acidic chemical solutions applied to the skin to correct & improve. Chemical peels dissolve the outermost, dead layer of skin, allowing it to “peel off” in days following. By removing old skin cells, chemical peels reveal the fresher layer below by simulating a natural process within the skin called rejuvenation.

Each of the different types of peels differ in composition, action, application & use. We will look at those aspects in detail.

Depending on the type and strength, a chemical peel in general offers clients a multitude of benefits:

Unclogs pores
Prevent and heal acne
Improves uneven pigmentation
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Improves the appearance of rosacea and pilaris
Improves the skin’s overall tone and texture

Although chemical peeling is a very popular treatment and widely offered at many clinics, chemical peeling is a complex skill with considerable risk to the client’s skin.
