Chemical peels course – new materials and treatment protocols

An updated version of the online Chemical Peels course is now available. The program includes an expanded theoretical and practical component focused on the conscious and safe use of chemical peels in cosmetology treatments, based on skin diagnostics, treatment series planning, and controlled assessment of tissue response to chemical stimulation.

The course update emphasizes viewing chemical peels as therapeutic procedures rather than routine, schematic treatments. Particular attention is given to acid mechanisms of action, factors influencing peel intensity, and principles of individualized treatment planning in professional practice.

The scope of the training has been expanded to include topics related to treatment safety, skin response to controlled exfoliation, skin anatomy and histology, treatment series planning, and the implementation of repeatable, structured therapeutic protocols.

The course program includes, among others

• chemical peels as therapeutic procedures
• hydroxy acids – origin, classification, and properties
• classification of peels by depth of action and skin layers
• AHA, BHA, PHA, and advanced acids in aesthetic therapies
• mechanism of chemical exfoliation and factors affecting treatment intensity
• the role of concentration, pH, formulation, application technique, and exposure time
• selecting peels based on skin condition, aesthetic concern, and Fitzpatrick phototype
• risk assessment and prevention of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
• single-acid and combination peels and treatment effectiveness
• pre- and post-treatment skin care
• chemical peel treatment protocols
• indications and contraindications
• characteristics of selected acids (including glycolic, mandelic, lactic, salicylic, pyruvic, ferulic, TCA, and lactobionic acid)
• preparing the workstation and the skin for treatment
• selection of treatment products and materials
• chemical peel application techniques
• exposure time control and neutralization
• planning treatment frequency
• performing single-acid and combination peels
• working with established treatment protocols
• monitoring results and adjusting therapy
• safe combination of chemical peels with other procedures (microneedling radiofrequency, mesotherapy, microneedling, manual massage techniques, hydrogen facials, and manual cleansing)
