Chemical Peel course for aestheticians

Detail the skin’s layers—epidermis and dermis—and how peels target depths from very superficial to deep, with healing implications and professional safety notes.

Master the spectrum of chemical peels—from very superficial to deep—and learn how glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids at various percentages impact results, safety, and recovery.

Identify normal skin reactions during and after a chemical peel, such as frosting, redness, tingling, itching, and temporary temperature changes, and keep cold water nearby to calm the skin.

Identify contraindications and required medical screening before chemical peels, including allergies (chemical peels, aspirin), pregnancy, active infections, scarring, psoriasis, vitiligo, cancer, and recent medications or procedures.

Recognize peel complications, especially hyperpigmentation in darker skin, and manage with hydroquinone 2% or lactic acid, plus strict spf sun protection and doctor-prescribed care.

Explain post care for chemical peels: no makeup before treatment, do not wash face, use gentle cleansing, SPF 40 daily, moisturizers, and manage erythema or dryness with hydrocortisone if needed.

Learn the three essential steps of a chemical peel—peel application, neutralizer, and cold water rinse—while consulting your supplier to adapt steps to brand-specific safety.

Schedule six chemical peel sessions with four weeks between treatments. Set depth intervals: two weeks between light peels, one month between strong peels, and twice a week for superficial peels.

Learn how to perform a superficial glycolic chemical peel for oily skin, including prep, Vaseline eye protection, multi-layer application, neutralization, and post-treatment care with masks and sunscreen, for aestheticians.
