Chemical Peel Theory
Peel chemistry, depth, indications, contraindications and aftercare. Theory to prepare for practical peel training.
About this course
This course covers how chemical peels work: acid types and properties, pH and concentration, depth classification, indications by skin concern and skin type, and the contraindications and priming that decide whether a peel is safe.
It also covers peel selection, layering principles, endpoints, neutralisation and aftercare. It is theory and professional development; performing peels requires practical training with supervised treatments.
